Check that the Ÿ DIGITAL indicator lights up in the display (pages 8, 28).

Multichannel audio is not output.

Input signal format is set to AUTO or ANALOG.

Also refer to the respective instruction manuals of the compact disc player, DVD player, video cassette recorder, TV monitor, etc., that compose your entertainment system.

The HT-R490 contains an internal microcomputer that performs high-level operations. However, on extremely rare occasions, noise or interference from an external source or static electricity may cause faulty operation. If this occurs, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five or more seconds, and then plug it back in. This should correct the situation.

*To reset the surround mode and other settings to the factory default settings, hold down the VIDEO 1 button with the HT-R490 turned on and then press the SPEAKERS A button. “CLEAR” appears in the front display and the HT-R490 enters the standby state.
