      Several factors could be at play here. First, check that the speaker cables are securely connected. Ensure the FUNCTION knob is in the correct position. Also, verify the volume isn't set to minimum and that MUTING is switched off. Finally, make sure a digital signal is being input and that you've properly selected a digital signal input source.

      If you're not getting any DTS sound, there are a few things to check. Start by ensuring your DVD player’s audio output setting is set to bit stream by making the DVD player’s default settings. Verify that you are using a DTS-compatible player. Also, confirm that the AVR-787’s input setting is set to “AUTO” or “DTS.”

      First, ensure that the video output terminals on your AVR-787 and the input terminals on your monitor are correctly connected. Next, check that your monitor’s input setting is set to the correct terminals to which the video signals are connected. Lastly, if you've connected a player with a component terminal and your TV with a video (yellow) or S-Video terminal, adjust the interlace settings on the player.
