Troubleshooting Guide
If a fault occurs, run through the table below before taking your receiver for repair.
If the fault persists, attempt to solve it by switching the receiver off and on again. If this fails to resolve the situation, consult with your dealer. Under no circumstances should you repair the receiver yourself as this could invalidate the warranty.
