Some versions of the iPod/iPhone do not output video.

The receiver’s remote controller doesn’t control your iPod/iPhone

Make sure your iPod/iPhone is properly inserted in the Dock. If your iPod/iPhone is in a case, it may not connect properly to the Dock. Always remove your iPod/iPhone from the case before inserting it into the Dock.

The iPod/iPhone cannot be operated while it’s displaying the Apple logo.

Make sure you’ve selected the right remote mode.

When you use the receiver’s remote controller, point it toward your receiver.

Recording

Can’t record

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

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

When the Pure Audio mode is selected, recording is not possible because no video signals are output. Disable the mode before recording.

Zone 2

There’s no sound

Only components connected to analog inputs can be played in Zone 2.

Make sure the server is up and running and compatible with the receiver.

Check the “Network Setup”.

Playback stops while listening to music files on the server

Make sure your server is compatible with the receiver.

If you download or copy large files on your computer, playback may be interrupted. Try closing any unused programs, use a more powerful computer, or use a dedicated server.

If the server is serving large music files to several networked devices simultaneously, the network may become overloaded and playback may be interrupted. Reduce the number of playback devices on the network, upgrade your network, or use a switch instead of a hub.
