Troubleshooting—Continued

Tuner

Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t appear

Relocate your antenna.

Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com- puter.

Listen to the station in mono (page 49).

When listening to an AM station, operating the remote controller may cause noise.

Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.

Concrete walls weaken radio signals.

If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna.

Can’t select XM radio channels (North Ameri- can model only)

• Channels cannot be selected while the

indica-

tor is flashing, as tuning is in progress.

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn’t work

Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor- rect polarity (page 13).

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 13).

Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control- ler mode (page 14).

Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control code (page 86).

Can’t control other components

Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control- ler mode (page 14).

If you’ve connected an -capable Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, or next generation HDD-com- patible component to the TAPE IN/OUT jacks, or a Remote Interactive Dock to the VIDEO 3 IN jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you must set the Input Display to MD, CDR, or HDD (see page 46).

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

If none of the codes work, use the Learning function to learn the commands of the other component’s remote controller (page 89).

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

To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via

, point the remote controller at the AV receiver. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first (page 87).

To control an Onkyo component that’s not connected

via , or another manufacturer’s component, point

the remote controller at the component. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first (page 86).

Can’t learn commands from another remote controller

When learning commands, make sure that the trans- mitting ends of both remote controllers are pointing at each other.

Are you trying to learn from a remote controller that cannot be used for learning? Some commands cannot be learned, especially those that contain several instructions.

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, VIDEO 1 IN to VIDEO 1 OUT, or VIDEO 2 IN to VIDEO 2 OUT).

When the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, video 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, in which case it stays the same.

How do I change the language of a multiplex source

Use the “Multiplex” setting on the “Audio Adjust” menus to select “Main” or “Sub” (page 68).

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 38).

While Zone 2 is on, the functions do not work.

The AV receiver’s display doesn’t work

The display is turned off when the Pure Audio listen- ing mode is selected.
