Dolby Digital is a multichannel digital audio coding
system widely used for DVD and digital broadcast
soundtracks. It can deliver up to six discrete audio
channels, comprising five full range channels and a
special LFE (low frequency effects) channel used mainly
for deep, rumbling sound effects; hence the term "5.1-
channel" Dolby Digital.
Cause
• The remote control batteries have worn out. • Replace the batteries (see page 5).
• You are too far away or at a bad angle for
operation.
• There is an obstacle between the receiver
and the remote control.
• Strong light such as fluorescent light.
• The CONTROL IN jack has been hooked up. • Disconnect the CONTROL IN jack.
• The proper code hasn't been input into the
remote control to control that component.
• The remote control is in a mode to make
some setting or control something on the
receiver.
• Something is plugged into the CONTROL IN
jack (see page 19).
• The plug was inserted improperly.
Remedy
• Operate within 23 ft., 30° of the remote sensor on the
front panel (see page 23).
• Remove the obstacle or operate from another angle of
position.
• Avoid exposing the remote sensor on the front panel to
direct light.
• Input the proper code into the remote control (see
page 36).
• Press the button of the component you want to control.
• Either point remote at the remote sensor of the unit that
is plugged into the CONTROL IN jack or unplug the cable
from the CONTROL IN jack and use remote normally.
• The terminal is fine but the shutter won't close.

Dolby Surround is an encoding system which embeds
surround sound information within a stereo soundtrack,
which a Dolby Pro Logic decoder can then use for
enhanced surround sound.
