Troubleshooting
If you have any trouble using the AV receiver and speak- ers, look for a solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.
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 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 one hour. After that, reconnect the power cord, and then set the volume to maximum. If the AV receiver stays on, set the volume to minimum, discon- nect the power cord, and reconnect your speakers and input sources properly. If the AV receiver turns off when you set the volume to maximum, disconnect the power cord, and contact your Onkyo dealer.
