MORE INFORMATION

Troubleshooting

The unit does not turn on.

•Make sure the power cord is plugged into the rear panel and a live AC outlet.

•Make sure the rear panel POWER switch is in the ON position.

No sound from any input.

•Make sure that MUTING is off and VOL- UME is turned up.

•Make sure that preamp outputs are con- nected to a power amplifier and that the amplifier is turned on.

•Make sure source inputs are connected and configured correctly.

No sound from digital sources.

•Make sure that digital input connector is assigned to the proper source input and that the source input is configured to use the digital input rather than an analog input.

•Check the configuration of the DVD player to ensure that the bitstream and/or DTS digital output is activated.

No sound from some speakers.

•Check all power amp and speaker con- nections.

•Check Speaker Configuration settings in the Setup menus.

No video output on TV monitor.

•Make sure that the TV monitor is connect- ed properly. Component video outputs can send any type of signal to the TV. Composite video connections can only send video from Composite sources and S-Video connections can only send video from S-Video sources.

•HDMI connections can only send video signals from HDMI sources. HDMI com- ponents must be Ver. 1.1 compatible. HDMI cables must be 5 meters or less in length.

•Make sure the NTSC/PAL switch is set properly.

OSD menus are not displayed on TV Monitor.

•Go to Setup menus and configure OSD menus to be displayed on the TV moni- tor.

•In some PAL systems, the menus may not be displayed unless there is an active video signal.

•When using progressive scan video sig- nals, make sure that the progressive mode is selected for that video input in the OTH- ER OPTIONS setup menu. This allows the display of the OSD menus on the TV mon- itor by interrupting the progressive scan video signal and restoring it after the OSD menus are cancelled. The temporary in- formation screens (such as volume, etc.) cannot be displayed on the TV monitor when progressive scan signals are used.

•HDMI video connections can not display OSD menus on the TV monitor. Use other type of video connection.

Video and Audio do not match.

•Check that the proper video source is se- lected for each input.

•Check that the group delay (lip-synch) setting is not misadjusted.

Clicking or popping sounds when switching inputs.

•The unit uses relay switching to preserve maximum sound quality. The mechanical clicking of the relays is normal.

•During switching, it may take a split sec- ond for digital signals to be recognized and properly decoded. Rapid repeated switching between inputs or settings can result in clicks or pops from the speakers as the unit attempts to lock on to the rapidly changing signals. This causes no harm.

Controls do not operate.

•Make sure that fresh batteries are installed in the remote.

•Make sure that the IR sensor on the front panel is not blocked. Aim the remote at the sensor.

•Make sure the sensor is not receiving strong IR light (sunlight, halogen lighting, etc.)

•Unplug the unit from the AC outlet, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in to reset.
