Can’t select XM radio channels, Can’t record?

Troubleshooting—Continued

Tuner

Reception is noisy, FM stereo reception is noisy, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t appear?

•Relocate your antenna.

•Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com- puter.

•Listen to the station in mono (page 54).

•When listening to an AM station, operating the remote controller may cause noise.

•Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.

•Concrete walls weaken radio signals.

•If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna.

Can’t select XM radio channels

• Channels cannot be selected while the

indicator

is ﬂashing, as tuning is in progress.

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn’t work?

•Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor- rect polarity (page 13).

•Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of bat- teries, or old and new batteries (page 13).

•Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the AV receiver, and that there’s no obstruction between the remote controller and the AV receiver’s remote control sensor (page 13).

•Make sure that the AV receiver is not subjected to direct sunshine or inverter-type ﬂuorescent lights. Relocate if necessary.

•If the AV receiver is installed in a rack or cabinet with colored-glass doors, the remote controller may not work reliably when the doors are closed.

•Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control- ler mode (pages 14-18).

•When using the remote controller to control other manufacturers’ AV components, some buttons may not work as expected.

•Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control code.

•Make sure to set the same ID on both the AV receiver and remote controller (pages 72 and 73).

Can’t control other components?

•If it’s an Onkyo component, make sure that the cable and analog audio cable are connected properly.

Connecting only an cable won’t work (page 36).

•Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control- ler mode (pages 14-18).

•If you’ve connected an -capable Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, or next generation HDD-com- patible component to the TAPE IN/OUT jacks, or a DS-A1 Remote Interactive Dock to the VIDEO 3 IN jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you must set the display to MD, CDR, or HDD (see pages 50 and 79).

•When learning commands, make sure that the trans- mitting ends of both remote controllers are pointing at each other.

•Are you trying to learn from a remote controller that cannot be used for learning? Some commands cannot be learned, especially those that transmit several instructions with a single button press.

•The wrong remote control code has been entered.

•The entered remote control code may not be correct. If more than one code is listed, try each one.

•With some AV components, certain buttons may not work as expected, and some may not work at all.

•To control Onkyo components, point the remote con- troller at the AV receiver.

•To control another manufacturer’s component, point the remote controller at that component.

Recording

Can’t record?

•On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected (e.g., digital or analog).

Zone 2

Zone 2 has turned off?

•Was the Sleep function set? The Sleep function turns off Zone 2 as well as the AV receiver. To set the Sleep function for Zone 2 only, see page 76.

There’s no sound?

•Only components connected to analog inputs can be played in Zone 2.
