Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords,
speaker cables, and the like may degrade the audio
performance, so refrain from doing it.
An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try
repositioning your cables.

Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD. (➔ page 59)
Make sure that the “TrueHD Loudness Management”
setting is not set to “Off”. The Late Night function doesn’t
work when this setting is disabled. (➔ page 70)
When DTS program material ends and the DTS bitstream
stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listening mode and
the dts indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise when
you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on
your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM,
you may not hear any sound because the AV receiver does
not switch formats immediately. In such case, you should
stop your player for about three seconds and then resume
playback.
With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to
playback DTS material properly even though your player is
connected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is
usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed
(e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response
changed) and the AV receiver doesn’t recognize it as a
genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.
Playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast
forward, or fast reverse function on your player may
produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction.
