Noise occurs when the TV is turned on.
The TV is too close to the audio system.
Not getting audio from all speakers.
Check your Surround Mode setting (under Advanced Sound Control section of this book). Your Home
Theater has a number of different SURROUND MODE settings, it defaults to modes most suited to the
type of audio content being played – however you can change these settings. Some of these modes,
(such as DOLBY DIGITAL, and Dolby PROLOGIC II), will cause all speakers to be active, while other modes,
(such as STEREO and 3-STEREO), will cause your rear speakers to be inactive. You can always test your
Home Theater amplifier - and each speaker, by using the built-in TEST TONE generator (press TEST TONE
button on remote control).
