How is PowerTouch Powered ?  
The Device Control/Menu Section:  
The device control section provides the same kinds of access as the Quick  
Access menu, but with more structure. Use the main menu to navigate  
through the feature menus to exactly the feature or device you want to  
use.  
Using these features, your Kenwood PowerTouch can store and display a  
large number of tasks, making it easier for you to access features. You get  
all the advantage of on-screen graphical display, without having to use a  
TV screen!  
For more information on using these icons, see How Do I Use  
PowerTouch?on page 6.  
How is PowerTouch Powered ?  
Your new PowerTouch uses six AA (LR6) alkaline batteries and operates  
in the following range:  
IR Sensor

How Do I Use PowerTouch?  
As you use PowerTouch, be aware of the following:  
When PowerTouchs operating range gets shorter or PowerTouch dis-  
plays a low battery alarm, replace all 6 batteries. (see Installing the  
Batterieson page 34 of the Connections and Setup Guide.)  
Do not install the receiver where direct sunlight or high-frequency  
fluorescent lighting can shine directly into the infrared remote sen-  
sor. This can limit PowerTouchs operating range.  
How Do I Use PowerTouch?  
Use your new PowerTouch to control your new receiver and most devices  
attached to it. PowerTouch appears and functions a little differently from  
traditional remotes. Because it can control so many different devices, it  
displays a separate set of controls for each device on an LCD screen.  
Only devices you have identified and connected to the receiver appear as  
buttons on the touch screen. If you are missinga devices icon on the  
HOME1 or HOME2 screen, make sure you have identified the device to  
the PowerTouch. For more information on identifying devices to the  
PowerTouch, see Chapter Two: Setting Up PowerTouchin the Connec-  
tions and Setup Guide.

How Do I Use PowerTouch?  
Do not block the IR transmitter on the front panel of the receiver or on  
PowerTouch. Even a brief blockage while it is transmitting (such as some-  
one walking by) can cause the communication and feedback to become  
erratic temporarily. If this happens, press CONFIRM and PowerTouch will  
resume normal operation (you might need to reenter the interrupted com-  
mand).  
How Do I Move Around?  
1. Press any button or touch the screen to activate PowerTouchs display.  
2. Use the stylus to touch the menu or control button you want to use.  
Operations using the joystick  
The joystick makes the following operations possible.  
1. Customization of the PowerTouch screen: The buttons on the screen  
of PowerTouch can be moved or resized. (Refer to "To Customize the  
PowerTouch Screen" on page 43 of the Connection and Setup Guide.)  
2. Contrast adjustment of the PowerTouch screen: For details, see "To  
adjust the contrast" on page 74.  
Also use the joystick when using the OSD (On-Screen Display) of the  
DVD or LD player. (Certain functions may be restricted with some de-  
vices.)  
Display a menu containing the OSD function.  
Press the OSD button or Menu. The menu is displayed on the TV  
monitor screen.  
Select an item by tilting the joystick up/down or to the left/right.

Chapter Two: Using PowerTouch  
Your new receiver comes with the easiestand most innovativeremote  
youve ever seen. Its palm-sized illuminated screen displays clear icons  
and menus. Because PowerTouch maintains two-way communication with  
your receiver, it shows the result of your action right on its screen.  
PowerTouch is a universal remote that can control hundreds of devices,  
and is the first of its kind to offer infra-red compatibility with X-10, Lutron  
lighting, and Makita drapery control systems, making it perfect for con-  
trolling even the most elaborate home theater system. (for U.K. only)

Midnight Theater Function (Dolby Digital, DTS and DTS-ES only)  
Any time you dont want to experience the loud and soft volume extremes  
of recorded sound (for example, late at night), use Midnight Theater func-  
tion to reduce volume extremes. This feature keeps loud, dramatic sound  
from being too loud (perhaps disturbing family members or neighbors)  
while ensuring that you can still hear whispered dialog or other soft sounds.

tal, DTS or DTS-ES program that has been encoded with special compres-  
sion data.

How Do I Adjust the Surround Modes?  
You can experience true home-theater sound with your Kenwood Audio-  
Video Receiver. This receiver incorporates several listen modes to let you  
enjoy surround sound with a wide variety of program sources. Each pro-  
duces multiple channels of surround-sound, but each does it differently.  
What is the THX?  
THX: Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters called  
dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theaters  
with similar equipment and conditions. The soundtrack created for  
movie theaters is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape,  
DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a small home theater  
environment.  
THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately trans-  
late the sound from the movie theater environment into the home,  
correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On the KRF-X9995D,  
when the THX mode is on, the THX technologies are automatically  
added after the decoded signal.  
Movies which have been encoded in Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, Dolby  
Pro Logic, Stereo and Mono can all benefit from activating the THX  
technologies. THX should be activated only when watching movies  
which were mixed for playback in large movie theater environments.  
THX need not be activated for music, movies that were made espe-  
cially for television or shows such as sports programming, talk shows,  
etc. This is because they were mixed in a small room environment.  
THX Surround EX: THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is  
a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of  
Lucasfilm Ltd.  
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with  
Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra  
channel which has been added during the mixing of the program.  
This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener  
in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right,  
surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional  
channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind  
the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound  
localization than ever before.

How Do I Adjust the Surround Modes?  
Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX tech-  
nology, when released into the home consumer market may exhibit a  
Dolby Digital Surround EX logo on the packaging. A list of movies  
created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site at  
http://www.dolby.com.  
Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX Surround EX  
logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this  
new technology in the home.  
This product may also engage the "THX Surround EX" mode during  
the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital Sur-  
round EX encoded. In such case the information delivered to the Sur-  
round Back channel will be program dependent and may or may not  
be very pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes  
of the individual listener.  
What are Listen Modes?  
Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital uses an encode/decode process based  
on its theatrical digital surround sound technology. The five main  
channels are full-frequency and independent, so sound can completely  
envelop you or soar anywhere in the room, just like at the movies.  
Compared with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital has more clarity,  
greater surround envelopment, and more realistic sound movement  
between channels.  
Although a full set of speakers (front left and right, center, surround  
left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true Dolby Digital  
surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital program  
sources, even if you connect fewer speakers.  
Dolby Pro Logic/Dolby Pro Logic II: Dolby Pro Logic reproduces a  
surround sound like in a movie theater from Dolby Surround-encoded  
program source (videotape or LaserDisc software carrying the Dolby  
Surround logo), and features excellent sound movement on the front  
and a surrounding atmosphere of movie theaters. Meanwhile, Dolby  
Pro Logic II decodes a signal encoded in 2 channels into 5-channel  
signals composed of the left/right front signals, center signal and sur-  
round left/right signals. If no surround speaker is Setup, the surround  
signal is sent to front left and right speakers. (Dolby 3 stereo)  
Dolby Pro Logic II is an advanced version of the decoding technology  
used with Dolby Pro Logic. It inputs 2-channel signals from a Dolby•

How Do I Adjust the Surround Modes?  
Surround-encoded source and reproduces 5-channel signals in which  
the surround channel is divided into independent channels for the  
left and right. Dolby Pro Logic II has the MOVIE mode and MUSIC  
mode, and the MUSIC mode enables independent adjustment of three  
parameters including Panorama mode, Dimension and Center Width.  
See page 29 for the Dolby Pro Logic II parameters.  
To allow the users enjoy multichannel playback also from the analog  
audio of currently available Dolby Surround home video software,  
the VR-5900 incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic II surround decoder.

DTS : DTS has five full-frequency channels that create effects nearly  
identical to those in a theater. Sounds seem to zoom from one place  
to another or entirely surround you. Like Dolby Digital, DTS has  
much-improved clarity, surround and sound movement capability  
compared with Dolby Pro Logic. This listen mode is available on CD,  
LD, and DVD media. DTS is a strictly digital format that can be sup-  
plied only by a CD, LD, or DVD player that supports DTS sound. If  
you attempt to listen to DTS encoded media through the analog con-  
nections to your new receiver, you will experience digital noise (loud  
static).  
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1: Both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1  
and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 add the surround back channel audio to the  
DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the acoustic positioning and  
makes acoustic image movement more natural with the 6.1-channel  
reproduction. This receiver incorporates a DTS-ES decoder, which can  
handle DTS-ES Discrete-encoded and DTS-ES Matrix-encoded pro-  
gram sources from DVD, etc.  
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete recording of all channels  
including the surround back channels and higher quality of audio  
reproduction.  
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 features matrix encoding of surround back (SB)  
signals in the SL/SR signals and decoding of the matrix into the SL,  
SR and SB signals during playback.

DTS NEO:6: This is a new technology which decodes 2-channel sig-  
nals into 6-channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix tech-  
nology. The DTS NEO:6 decoder has near-discrete properties in the  
frequency characteristics of the channels as well as in channel separa-  
tion. According to the signals to be played back, DTS NEO:6 uses ei-  
ther the NEO:CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback or the  
NEO:MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.  
MPEG: MPEG, which stands for Moving Pictures Experts Group, is  
an international standard of digital video and audio compression and  
decompression in media. It is the most efficient encoding method for  
compressed multi-channel audio which provides the highest sound  
quality to deliver the best movie theater sound into the home.  
DSP (Digital Signal Processing): DSP allows you to create your  
own custom surround sound environments and use them with any  
source (except Dolby Digital, MPEG, DTS and DTS-ES). You can se-  
lect the ambience of an Arena, Jazz Club, Stadium, Cathedral, Theater  
or Concert hall, and then modify the parameters to fine-tunethe envi-  
ronment to your taste. (See Applying Digital Signal Processor (DSP)  
Effectson page 30 for details about making DSP adjustments.)  
Multi ch Music (Multichannel music): All speakers are used to real-  
ize a stereo sound with a wide listening range.  
Stereo: Stereo listen mode provides standard stereo sound to the front  
left and right speakers.  
You cannot select the Input Analog mode if you are playing DTS-encoded  
media.  
You cannot listen to DTS-encoded media in Zone B.  
When playing DTS-encoded media, wait until DTSappears on the  
receiver display before proceeding.  
The listen mode is fixed to Stereo during playback of 96k fs signals.

Applying Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Effects  
The DSP mode creates the reverberation devices (elements of sound ech-  
oed in various spaces) which determine the feeling of presence. Since  
DSP uses digital processing, it can produce these effects without spoiling  
the sound quality of the original music or video source.  
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of an Arena, Jazz club, Ca-  
thedral, Concert hall, Stadium, or Theater from PCM or analog input  
source. These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo pro-  
gram sources like CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying  
the Stadium (1, 2), Arena or Concert hall mode the next time you watch  
a sporting event or concert.  
You can adjust the following elements to create a customized environment:  
The Wall type parameter lets you adjust the brightness of the sonic  
environment according to your preference.  
The Room size parameter lets you adjust the size of the sonic envi-  
ronment according to your preference.  
The Effect level lets you adjust the amount of DSP presencein the  
sonic environment according to your preference.  
The DSP effect cannot be applied when the input is a 96k fs PCM signal.

HDCD® and D.R.I.V.E. Effects  
HDCD is a new format enabling recording with higher quality than pre-  
vious CD while maintaining compatibility with it. Although an HDCD-  
compatible CD player is usually required to exhibit the full characteris-  
tics of the HDCD, this receiver is capable of reproducing high-quality  
HDCD signals by connecting a CD player through digital connection,  
even when it does not incorporate the HDCD circuitry.  
D.R.I.V.E. is a Kenwood original technology for reproducing signals with  
high resolution by instant switching of the internal filters according to  
the input signal. This receiver incorporate a high performance DSP to  
provide very high resolution from 32-bit DRIVE III circuitry, achieving  
stereo audio reproduction with the best quality ever reached.  
The D.R.I.V.E. indicator lights when the D.R.I.V.E. circuit is activated.  
The HDCD indicator lights when the HDCD circuit is activated and an

HDCD and D.R.I.V.E. are designed to be activated automatically to select  
the optimum circuit path.  
HDCD and D.R.I.V.E. is effective only at the time of digital input stereo,  
DSP mode or multi channel music.  
Some HDCD-recorded discs do not contain all tracks as HDCD record-  
ings. (The HDCD indicator will not light for tracks not recorded as

How Do I Perform Several Actions at Once?  
How Do I Perform Several Actions at Once?  
PowerTouch uses sophisticated processing to make it easy for you to per-  
form several actions at once using the Macro menu. Once you create the  
macros, specifying which devices should receive which commands at what  
interval, a single touch can lower curtains, dim lights, and turn on and  
start devices.  
There are a number of macros automatically associated with each device.  
These macros will appear on the Morescreen for the device. Although  
you can assign any set of actions to a macro, the macros association will  
not change. Each device input supports up to 6 macros.  
Any device (including home automation devices such as Lutron, X-10,  
and Makita) command can be included in a macro.  
These macros enable you to group multiple actions onto a single button.  
For example:  
You could create a macro to access a specific TV station (such as CNN  
or TV Land)like setting a button on the radio in your car. You would  
most likely choose a macro associated with your TV, or one with the  
jack set to which you connected your cable or satellite receiver. You  
would then define a macro that entered the channel number for that  
station.  
You could create a macro to change video input and start a tape in  
your VCR. You would most likely choose a macro associated with  
your TV or with the video jack to which you connected your VCR. You  
would then define a macro that:  
turns on the VCR  
delays 1 second to allow the VCR to power up  
switches the TV input to VCR  
starts the tape playing

Using Macros  
Once you have defined macros, you can use them directly from the basic  
menus (HOME1, HOME2) for one-touch operation of several devices.  
The KRF-X9995D has Perfect Macrocapability. This senses if video de-  
vices connected via the composite jacks, or video monitors with an op-  
tional power sensing device attached are on or off, and will ensure that  
the macro works properly.  
Perfect Macro is available only with devices connected to the composite  
video jacks.  
For example, you create a Video On macro where PowerTouch turns the  
receiver and all of your video devices on. If your TV is already on when  
you run the macro, Perfect Macro will keep it on.  
To turn the device power ON or OFF with the macro function, it is re-  
quired that the receiver is turned ON. For example, if a macro attempts to  
turn the receiver OFF then turn a device OFF, the device cannot be turned  
OFF by executing such a macro.  
For more information about using a TV power sensing device, see Chap-  
ter Four of the Connections and Setup Guide.  
There are two ways to use the macros you defined:  
from the Macro Summary menu, which displays all the available  
macros  
from the More screen for each device, which displays the macros as-  
sociated with that device

Chapter Three: Using PowerTouch in Multiple  
Zones  
The KRF-X9995D offers dual-zone output and control, which enables  
you to use a single receiver to control devices and speakers for 2 zones.  
Due to its advanced features and controls, you can listen to music in one  
zone while a movie plays in the other!  
Depending on your tastes and budget, you can set up one of the follow-  
ing sound scenariosto make full use of the KRF-X9995Ds capabilities:  
No additional amplifier for Zone B: You can use the KRF-X9995Ds  
Speaker B output for Zone B. This allows you to listen to full surround  
sound in Zone A only, or in stereo in Zone A when Zone B is active. The  
sound in Zone B will always be in stereo.  
Stereo amplifier for Zone B: You use an additional stereo amplifier for  
Zone B (connected to the KRF-X9995Ds Second Zone Preouts). This  
allows you to hear full surround sound in Zone A even if you are also  
listening in Zone B. The sound in Zone B will always be in stereo.

How Do I Switch Control Modes?  
How Do I Switch Control Modes?  
You can use PowerTouch to operate your receiver and source devices from  
2 different zones. To do so, you need to switch control modes to control  
the devices from each zone.  
To make operations from Zone B easier, we recommend that you pur-  
chase a second PowerTouch. That way you can leave one PowerTouch in  
Zone A that is always set up for Zone A operation, and another PowerTouch  
in Zone B that is always set up for Zone B operation.  
Some system control features are not available when the PowerTouch is  
set up for multi-zone control.  
To switch control modes for Zone A or Zone B:  
1. Touch  
menu.  
(SETUP) on the Quick Access menu to access the Setup  
2. Touch  
to access multi-zone commands:  
3. Touch  
4. Touch  
to highlight it.  
for Zone A or touch  
for Zone B. The buttons  
which can be controlled currently are indicated by highlighting.  
Zone A controls devices connected for Zone A.  
Zone B controls devices connected for Zone B.

5. Touch  
to return to the Setup menu.  
If you buy a second PowerTouch, set one to Zone A (and keep it there)  
and one to Zone B (and keep it there).  
Why Dont I See All My Devices?  
Your Kenwood PowerTouch displays icon buttons for each of the devices  
in your home audio-video system that you have identified to the  
PowerTouch. If you have not identified a device to the PowerTouch, its  
icon button will appear blank (the buttons will be there, but it will not  
contain an icon). For more information on identifying devices to the  
PowerTouch, see How Do I Identify Devices?on page 40 of the Con-  
nection and Setup Guide.  
When you switch zones, only devices you can control in that zone will  
show up as icons on PowerTouch.  
Devices connected via digital jacks only cannot be listened to in Zone B.  
We recommend that you connect the analog jacks of all devices. You must  
use the composite video connections. Only video sources connected with  
composite connectors can be viewed in the second zone.

How Do I Operate Devices?  
How Do I Operate Devices?  
General instructions for operating any device are given under How Do I  
Operate Devices?on page 35. Some operations, however, are a little dif-  
ferent depending on the zone you are in. The following section discusses  
how devices may operate differently in different zones.  
Operating Devices in Zone A  
To select the speakers for Zone A, press the button for SpeakersA on the  
front panel of the receiver.  
To set up PowerTouch to control Zone A devices, follow the instructions  
under How Do I Switch Control Modes?on page 91.  
To control a second CD player from Zone A, use  
, unless you are  
using a Kenwood 200-Disc CD Changer (see below).  
Kenwood DPF-J9030, DPF-J9020 or DPF-J9010 200-Disc CD Changers  
are specifically designed to work with the KRF-X9995D in a dual-zone  
environment. Since they contain two CD players, one can play in Zone A  
while the other is playing simultaneously in Zone B. Use CD1 to control  
the changer for Zone A and CD2 to control the changer for Zone B.  
Operating Devices in Zone B  
If you are using the receivers Speaker B outputs to power the speakers in  
Zone B, press the button for SPEAKERS B on the front panel of the re-  
ceiver to activate the speakers in Zone B. The Listen Mode in Zone A will  
automatically switch to stereo when you turn SPEAKERS B on.  
To set up PowerTouch to control Zone B devices, follow the instructions  
under How Do I Switch Control Modes?on page 91.  
Operation using the SYS.POWER button on PowerTouch  
To perform the Multi-Zone operation, switch the Multi Zone function on  
in advance (see page 91).  
1. When the receiver is OFF (STANDBY mode):  
To output the video and audio to Zone A, set the Zone setting of  
the PowerTouch to Zone A then press the SYS.POWER button on  
the PowerTouch.

Chapter Four: Troubleshooting  
Troubleshooting is how you determine what part of a complex system  
(like a home theater system) is at fault when the system isnt working  
how you think it should. When you troubleshoot a system, you diagnose  
a problem by examining and eliminating possible causes until theres  
only one left. Troubleshooting is easiest when you start with the most  
obvious, most common, and most likely and work from there.  
Diagnosing your own problems can save you time and aggravationthe  
better you understand how to troubleshoot and adjust your own system,  
the less time you have to:  
spend on the phone with a customer service representative  
do without your receiver because its in the shop”  
There are some basic steps to good troubleshooting:  
1. Verify the exact conditions when the problem occurs.  
This is the most important step in troubleshooting. Whether you fix it  
yourself or have to describe it to a technician, you are much more likely  
to really solve the problem if you know the exact circumstances sur-  
rounding the problem. For example, if you dont hear anything through  
the speakers, its useful to know if it only happens when you are listen-  
ing to CDs. Knowing that eliminates the speakers themselves as part of  
the problem. The more you know about when a problem occurs, the  
more likely it is that you or the technician can solve it.  
2. Check each part of the signals path from source (such as a CD  
player) to speaker.  
You may also want to test the assumptions you made in step 1: maybe  
you havent listened to your MD recorder in a whileis there no  
sound from it as well? This step will really help narrow down the  
possible causes. Test all your connected devices and eliminate the ones  
where the problem doesnt occur. When youre done with this step,  
youll probably have found the problem.  
95  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
3. Go over all device connections slowly and methodically. Double-  
check the settings on your remote.  
Wrong or loose connections are the most likely cause of the most  
common home entertainment problem: no sound. Use the Connec-  
tion and Setup Guide to double-check your connections for each de-  
vice. This is especially important with VCRs, tape decks, MD record-  
ers, and equalizers, where its very easy to swap the playand record”  
connections.  
You should also check your PowerTouch settings carefully. Did you  
set the input to the correct device? (you can also check the front panel  
of the receiver) Are you trying to listen to an analog source using a  
digital connection?  
4. Cables (especially old ones) go bad more frequently than de-  
vices do.  
Always suspect the cable before its device. For one thing, its easier to  
test: simply swap the cable with one connected to a device you know  
is working. If the problem device works now, it was the cable. You can  
generally purchase new cables at most home electronics stores, or via  
the Internet.  
5. User error is more likely than device failure.  
You probably dont want to hear this, but its true. Use this manual to  
go over the steps to operate the receiver. Refer to the other devices’  
manuals as well.  
6. Instruction manuals are your friend.  
A good rule of thumb is to check the manual when something doesnt  
work how you expected it to. If you read the manual before calling the  
store or taking the device back, you may find the solution to your prob-  
lem much more quickly.  
The rest of this chapter presents some common problems, grouped by  
type, and the steps you can take to resolve them.

will be lit). See Whats on the Front Panel of Your Kenwood Audio -  
Video Receiver?on page 2 of this manual.  
The correct speakers have been activated. See Turning the Speakers  
Onon page 10 of this manual.  
The correct listen mode has been selected. See What are Listen  
Modes?on page 18 of this manual.  
I cant hear sound from my surround or center speakers.  
Check that:  
The proper surround play mode (Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic  
II, DSP, MPEG, DTS NEO:6, DTS, DTS-ES or Dolby Digital) has been  
selected. See What are Listen Modes?on page 18 of this manual.  
All of the speaker wires are connected tightly. See Chapter One of the  
Connections and Setup Guide.  
I can hear sound only from the center speaker when Dolby Pro  
Logic is selected.  
Check that the program (e.g., TV show, radio station, VCR tape) is in  
stereo. Programs in mono play only through the center speaker when the  
receiver is in the Dolby Pro Logic listen mode.  
A DTS-ES encoded source is played but it is not decoded in DTS-ES.

I cant hear sound from some of my laser discs.  
Check that the disc contains a digital soundtrack (the discs cover will  
bear a digital soundlogo). 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 wasnt 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 Recordingon 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  
arent very loud and the quiet sounds arent very quiet.  
Check that volume extremes are not automatically being balanced. See
