Troubleshooting—Continued

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn’t work

•Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor- rect polarity (page 6).

•Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of bat- teries or old and new batteries (page 6).

•Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the receiver, and that there’s no obstruction between the remote controller and the receiver’s remote control sensor (page 12).

•Make sure that the receiver is not subjected to direct sunshine or inverter-type florescent lights. Relocate if necessary (page 12).

Can’t control other components

•If you have connected an -capable Onkyo Remote Interactive Dock to the TAPE IN or VCR/DVR IN jacks for the remote controller to work properly, you must set the input display to HDD (see page 22).

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

Connecting only an cable won’t work (page 20).

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

•To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via

, point the remote controller at the receiver.

Recording

Can’t record

•On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected.

•To prevent signal loops and damage to the receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT, or VCR/DVR IN to VCR/DVR OUT).

•When the Pure Audio function is selected, recording is not possible because no video signals are output. Dis- able the function before recording.

Others

The display doesn’t work

•The display is turned off when the Pure Audio func- tion is selected.

The functions don’t work

•To use , you must make an connection and an analog audio connection (RCA) between the compo- nent and receiver, even if they are connected digitally (page 20).

•While Zone 2 is selected, the functions don’t work.

The receiver contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.

Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, set the receiver to Standby.

Memory Backup

The receiver uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the receiver must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system. Once it has been charged, the receiver will retain the settings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and will be shorter in humid climates.
