Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue your- self, contact your Onkyo dealer.

If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the AV receiver before contacting your Onkyo dealer.

The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is con- nected to the MONITOR OUT V or the COMPO- NENT VIDEO OUT, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.

Power

■Can’t turn on the AV receiver

Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged — into the wall outlet.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five — seconds or more, then plug it in again.

The protection circuitry has been activated.	—
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi-
ately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input
sources, and then leave the AV receiver with its
power cord disconnected for 1 hour. After that,
reconnect the power cord and set the volume to max-
imum. If the AV receiver stays on, set then the vol-
ume 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 maxi-
mum, disconnect the power cord, and contact your
Onkyo dealer.
