DTS is used, or the setting of the
DVD player is incorrect.
• The digital output level has been
turned down on a CD player or

capability. (The DTS signal has been
altered by the player, and cannot be

the player interferes with the
reading of digital information.

window.
• A cord is connected to the
CONTROL IN terminal on this unit.
• The IR -Receiver type is
mismatched with the setting.
•The FL DIMMER button is pushed.
• If you are using an analog source,
the signal is too strong.

there is too much information for
the receiver to handle.
