Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the T-433, look for a solution here. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.

Power

■Can’t turn on the T-433.

•Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet (page 11, 14).

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

■The T-433 turns off unexpectedly.

•If the sleep timer has been set, and the TIMER indicator is shown on the display, the T-433 will turn off automatically after a specified period.

•When timed playback or recording finishes, the T-433 automatically switches to Standby mode.

Audio

■There’s no sound.

•The T-433 is not connected properly. Check all connections and correct as necessary.

•The wrong input source is selected on your amplifier. Check your amplifier’s input source setting. Refer to your amplifier’s manual.

•Check if the A-933’s MAIN IN function is on. Refer to the A-933’s instruction manual.

•Make sure the amplifier’s volume control is not set to minimum.

Radio

■Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, the Auto Preset function doesn’t preset all stations, or the ST indicator doesn’t light up when tuned to a stereo FM station.

•Check the antenna connections.

•Change the position of the antenna.

•Move the T-433 away from a nearby TV or computer.

•Move power cords and speaker cables as far away as possible from the tuner’s antenna.

•Cars or airplanes can cause noisy interference.

•The radio signal will be weakened if it has to pass through a concrete wall before reaching the antenna.

•Try setting FM mode to mono.

•When listening to an AM station, noise may be heard when you operate the remote controller.

•If none of the above improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna.

■Timed playback or recording doesn’t work.

•Make sure the clock has been set correctly. If the clock has not been set, timed playback or recording is not possible.

•If a component is On at the specified start time, the timer will have no effect, so be sure to set the component to Standby beforehand.

•If the settings of two or more timers overlap, some of the timers will not work, so make sure they do not overlap.

•Make sure that the and audio cables are connected properly.

•Check the settings on the playback and recording components. (Timer recording is not possible with a CDR.)

•For timed recording with an MD recorder, use its analog audio input.

Remote Controller

■The A-933’s remote controller doesn’t work.

•Point the remote controller at the A-933’s remote sensor (page 9).

•To use , you must make an connection and an audio connection between the A-933 and T-433 (page 11).

•Check if the A-933’s MAIN IN function is on. Refer to the A-933’s instruction manual.

The T-433 contains a microcomputer for signal processing 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 should happen, unplug the power cord, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it again.

To reset the T-433 to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [MEMORY] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. “CLEAR” will appear on the display and the T-433 will enter Standby mode.
