Troubleshooting—Continued

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn’t work?

•Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor- rect polarity (page 17).

•Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the AV receiver, and that there’s no obstruction between the remote controller and the AV receiver’s remote control sensor (page 17).

•Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control- ler mode (page 12).

•Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control code.

Can’t control other components?

•Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control- ler mode (page 12).

•If you’ve connected an -compatible Onkyo Mini- Disc or CD recorder to the TAPE IN/OUT jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you must set the display to MD or CD (see pages 33 and 53).

•The wrong remote control code has been entered.

•The entered remote control code may not be correct. If more than one code is listed, try each one.

•With some AV components, certain buttons may not work as expected, and some may not work at all.

•To control Onkyo components via , point the remote controller at the AV receiver.

•To control Onkyo components without , or other manufacturers’ components, point the remote control- ler at that component.

Recording

Can’t record?

•On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected.

•To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT, or VIDEO 1 IN to VIDEO 1 OUT).

•When the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, recording is not possible because no video signals are output. Select another listening mode.

Others

The sound changes when I connect my head- phones?

•When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo, Mono, Direct, or Pure Audio (not North American model).

The display doesn’t work?

•The display is turned off when the Pure Audio (not North American model) listening mode is selected.

How do I change the language of a multiplex source?

•Use the “Multiplex” setting on the “4. Audio Adjust” menu to select Main or Sub (page 45).

The functions don’t work?

•To use , you must make an connection and an analog audio connection (RCA) between the compo- nent and AV receiver, even if they are connected digi- tally (page 31).

The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal pro- cessing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor- rectly.

To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. “Clear” will appear on the display and the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.

Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out- let, set the AV receiver to Standby.
