I can't hear sound from some of my laser discs.

Check that the disc contains a digital soundtrack (the disc's cover will
bear a "digital sound" logo). Some older laser discs contain only analog
soundtracks. If the disc does not have a digital soundtrack, change the
input mode to Analog. See "To set the Input Mode manually:" on page 23
of this manual and also read the manual of your laser disc player.
There wasn't any sound recorded on tapes made on my VCR or
tape deck.
Check that:
• The audio cables are connected properly for the device.
• The source is connected via an analog jack set. See Chapter One of
the Connections and Setup Guide.
• Analog has been set as the input mode. Digital inputs such as Dolby
Digital, DTS or MPEG need to be downmixed into two channels for
recording to analog media (such as VHS or audio tape). See "Digital
to Analog Recording" on page 72.
The initial sound is intermittent or non-existent when I start to
play from a Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS-ES or MPEG source
• Some DVD players simply have intermittent start-up sound.
• Check that the correct digital cable is being used. The cable must be a
digital coaxial or optical cable. See Chapter One of the Connections
and Setup Guide.
With a Dolby Digital program or DTS program, the loud sounds
aren't very loud and the quiet sounds aren't very quiet.
Check that volume extremes are not automatically being balanced. See
"Midnight Theater Function" on page 16 of this manual.
