Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, contact the dealer from whom you purchased.

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 the dealer from whom you purchased.

Audio

There’s no sound or it’s very quiet

•Make sure that the digital input source is selected properly (page 41).

•Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 22).

•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 19)

•Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.

•Check the volume (page 44). 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 52).

•While a pair of headphones is connected to the Phones jack, no sound is output by the speakers (page 53).

•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 built-in phono preamp, 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

(page 32).

•Check the speaker settings (pages 63–67).

•The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to Auto (page 72).
