A compressed digital source is
being played, but the digital
format indicators don’t light
up.
Although it’s a non-PCM digital source
there is a possibility the present track is
not the proper format (5.1, 6.1, or 7.1
channel).
There is no problem. The indicator
won’t light when the track is not a com-
pressed digital source.
During playback of a
compressed digital source, the
PRO LOGIC II or NEO:6
indicators show in the display.
The digital signal is not being sent with
the source.
The audio is in two channel format.
It has already been Dolby surround
encoded.
Choose DIGITAL or AUTO with the sig-
nal select button (see page 44).
This is not a malfunction. Check the
manufacturer information for the
source.
During playback of a
Surround EX or DTS ES source
on the AUTO setting, the EX
and ES indicators won’t light.
The source may be 6.1 playback compat-
ible, but there is no signal from the
source to indicate this.
Switch the SB CH MODE to ON (see
page 53).
During playback of a DVD
audio source, the player

not.
The multichannel connections are ana-
log, so there is no digital transfer.
This is not a malfunction. See the
player’s manual for more details.
During playback of a 96kHz
source, the display doesn’t
show 96kHz.
SIGNAL SELECT is set to ANALOG. Set the SIGNAL SELECT to AUTO (see
