1. My blu-ray home theater system is displaying “Copyright protection” message when playing a rented movie. How do I fix this problem?

Try to the clean disc The disc may be dirty, has fingerprints, or smudges on the playback side of the BD disc, which normally occurs with rental videos.

2. Can I use a different set of speakers from those that came with my system?

It is not recommended to use a different set of speakers. The unit was designed to work and operate with the speakers that came with the system.

3. How do I get audio from the TV to the home theater system?

If the TV has audio outputs, connect the Left/Right audio outputs to the home theater systems "AUX", "TV", or "LINE IN" audio connections. Then select the same input on the home theater system.

4. Why do I still see black bars on my widescreen TV when viewing certain widescreen movies?

Your widescreen TV has an aspect ratio of 16:9 (1.78:1), which is the aspect ratio of HDTV. However, movies are filmed at several different aspect ratios, including 2.35:1. Also referred to as "scope", 2.35:1 is a very panoramic aspect ratio that provides a wide field of view in the theater. Scope is much wider than your widescreen TV, so it still requires the use of letterboxing ("black bars") to fit the entire image on screen. Some TVs and DVD players have a zoom function that allows you to enlarge the image so it fills the screen, but the sides of the image will be cropped in order to do so.

5. My home theater system has surround sound, but there isn't any sound coming from the center or surround speakers. What should I do?

Not all movie soundtracks contain surround sound, so you won't always hear sound coming from your surround speakers - even if the soundtrack is encoded in Dolby Digital or DTS. To be certain everything is working correctly, you can put the unit through an audio test using the built-in test tones. If you can hear the test tones through all the speakers, the speakers are connected correctly.
