	connected with different cords (in Setting the Video options on page 61), you must connect your TV
	to this receiver using the same type of video cable as you used to connect your video component.
	• Make sure the input assignment is correct for components connected using component video,
	HDMI or S-Video cables (see The Input Setup menu on page 40).
	• Check the video output settings of the source component.
	• Check that the video input you selected on your TV is correct.
	• Some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. If
	adjusting this receiver’s Resolution setting (in Setting the Video options on page 61) and/or the
	resolution settings on your component or display doesn’t work, try switching Digital Video

Symptom	Remedy
The Auto MCACC Setup	• The ambient noise level may be too high. Keep the noise level in the room as low as possible (see
continually shows an error.	also Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 40). If the noise level cannot be kept low
	enough, you will have to set up the surround sound manually (page 84).
	• When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L (Single)
	terminals.
	• To use a 5.1-channel speaker set, use the surround speakers for the surround channel, not the
	surround back channel.
	• Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.
	• If Reverse Phase is displayed, try the following:
	– The speaker’s wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker connections.
	– Depending on the type of speakers and their installation conditions, Reverse Phase may be
	displayed even if the speakers are properly connected. If this happens, select GO NEXT and continue.
	– If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that
	affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), it may not be possible to properly identify
	the polarity.
