It is possible to check on the front panel display whether
or not surround sound playback is being performed
properly.
If the display does not correspond to the input signal and
listening mode, check the connections and settings.
Note
• You may need to check the digital audio output settings on
your DVD player or digital satellite receiver. It should be
set to output Dolby Digital, DTS and 88.2 kHz/96 kHz
PCM (2 channel) audio, and if there is an MPEG audio
option, set this to convert the MPEG audio to PCM.
• Depending on your DVD player or source discs, you may
only get digital 2 channel stereo and analog sound. In this
case, the receiver must be set to a multichannel listening
mode if you want multichannel surround sound.
