      If you are playing an LD and the SIGNAL SELECT is on DIGITAL but there is still no sound from your Pioneer Receiver, it may be because the LD is not a Dolby Digital compatible disc. Set the SIGNAL SELECT to analog and ensure your LD player is connected with analog connections in addition to digital and 2 RF connections.
