  RETURN CHANNEL] (page 32). To check the compatibility of your TV’s ARC function,
  refer to the operating instructions supplied with your TV.

       Hint
       •• You can also enjoy the sound of external equipment (DVD players, etc.) via the system
          by connecting to the AUDIO/PARTY CHAIN IN (TV) L/R jacks as connection  above. For
          details, refer to the operating instructions of your equipment.
       •• If the audio output level from the system is low when connecting the external
          equipment, try adjusting the audio output settings on the connected equipment. It
          may improve the audio output level. For details, refer to the operating instructions of
          your equipment.

        If “CODE 01” and “SGNL ERR” appear on the display of the unit
        When the audio input signals to the system are other than 2-channel
        Linear PCM signals, the messages “CODE 01” and “SGNL ERR” (indicate that
        the input audio signals are unsupported) appear on the display of the unit.
        In this case, select the proper audio output mode on the TV in order
        to output 2-channel Linear PCM audio signals. For details, refer to the
