Procedure:
1. Set the FUNCTION of the receiver to the CD position and con-

firm that " [OPTICAL] " and "CD" appear on the display.

2. Insert the DTS test CD into the CD player and play the CD.

3. About three seconds later, confirm that the receiver recognizes

the optical signal and that the "DTS" and "dts [3/2]" are appear
on the display.  Confirm also that MULTI CHANNEL DECOD-
ING (blue lamp) flashes on the front panel.

 Be careful about an electrical shock caused by remains of electrical potential.

            The following parts on DC board have the +B or -B electrical potential.

Heat sink for rectifier diodes D801, 802
Aluminium case of smoothing capacitor C803, 804

           The 40-60V electrical voltage remains in C803, 804 when the power turns off.
           Be sure to discharge in the following manner before servicing.

           Discharging
              1. Pull out the power cord from the wall outlet.
              2. Connect 330 ohm 2W resistors between the heat
                  sinks for D801 and 802 and chassis individually.
              3. Check the electrical potential drops fully, then start
                  servicing.
