Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the AV controller, look for a solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue your- self, contact your Onkyo dealer.

If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the AV controller before contacting your Onkyo dealer.

To reset the AV controller to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down VCR/DVR, press ON/STANDBY. “Clear” will appear on the display and the AV controller will enter Standby mode.

Note that resetting the AV controller will delete your radio presets and custom settings.

Power

■Can’t turn on the AV controller

Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged — into the wall outlet.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five — seconds or more, then plug it in again.

The protection circuit has been activated. Remove	—
the power cord from the wall outlet immediately.
Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources, and
leave the AV controller with its power cord discon-
nected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the power
cord and set the volume to maximum. If the AV con-
troller stays on, set the volume to minimum, discon-
nect the power cord, and reconnect your speakers
and input sources. If the AV controller turns off
when you set the volume to maximum, disconnect
the power cord, and contact your Onkyo dealer.
