Switch on your system components and receiver.
Start by switching on the playback component (for example a
DVD player), your TV and subwoofer (if you have one), then
the receiver (press  RECEIVER).
• Make sure the setup microphone is disconnected.

Switch the TV input to the input that connects this
receiver.
For example, if you connected this receiver to the VIDEO
jacks on your TV, make sure that the VIDEO input is now
selected.

Press input function buttons to select the input function
you want to play.
• The input of the receiver will switch over, and you will be
able to operate other components using the remote
control. To operate the receiver, first press
the remote control, then press the appropriate button to
operate.
• The input source can also be selected by using INPUT
SELECT buttons on the remote control, or by
using the front panel INPUT SELECTOR dial. In this case,
the remote control won't switch operational modes.
If you selected the proper input source and there is still no
sound, select the audio input signal for playback (see

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.

Use MASTER VOLUME to adjust the volume level.
Turn down the volume of your TV so that all sound is coming
from the speakers connected to this receiver.
