If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a solution in this section.

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

To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. “Clear” will appear on the display and the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.

Power

Can’t turn on the AV receiver

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

•Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5 seconds or more, then plug it in again.

The AV receiver turns off as soon as it’s turned on

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

Audio

There’s no sound or it’s very quiet

•Make sure that the digital input source is selected properly (page 33). Press the [DIGITAL INPUT] but- ton repeatedly.

•Make sure the speker set A or B is on (page 6).

•Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 20).

•Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is correct, and that the bare wire is in contact with metal part of each speaker terminal (page 17)

•Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.

•Check the volume. It can be set to MIN, 1 through 79, or MAX (page 36). The AV receiver is designed for

home theater enjoyment and has a wide volume range for precise adjustment.

•If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display, press the remote controller’s [MUTING] button to unmute the AV receiver (page 46).

•While a pair of headphones is connected to the PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers (page 47).

•Check the digital audio output settings on the con- nected device. On some games consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.

•With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio format from a menu.

•If your turntable doesn’t have a phono preamp built-in, you must connect one between it and the AV receiver. If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must con- nect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer and a phono preamp.

•Specify the speaker distances and adjust the individual speaker levels (pages 56, 57).

•The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to Auto (page 57).

•Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 34).

The surround speakers produce no sound

•When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound (page 50).

•Depending on the source and current listening mode, not much sound may be produced by the surround speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.

•Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 34).

The center speaker produces no sound

•When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the center speaker produces no sound (page 50).

•Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 34).

The surround back speakers produce no sound

•While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel playback and the surround back speakers produce no sound.
