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 your dealer. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the receiver yourself. This could void the warranty.
