To output multi channel digital audio, check the digital audio output setting on the connected equipment. For a Sony Blu-ray Disc player, check that “Audio (HDMI)”, “BD Audio MIX Setting”, “Dolby Digital/DTS”, “Dolby Digital”, and “DTS” are set to “Auto”, “Off”, “Bitstream”, “Dolby Digital”, and “DTS” respectively (as of August 1, 2012). For a PlayStation 3, after having connected the receiver with an HDMI cable, select the “Audio Output Settings” in “Sound Settings”, and select “HDMI” and “Automatic” (with system software version 4.21). For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the connected equipment.
