■If the picture on your TV/monitor connected to the HDMI output is unstable, try switching the DeepColor function off

To turn off the DeepColor function, simultaneously press the STB/DVR and 8ON/STANDBY buttons on the AV receiver. While holding down STB/DVR, press 8ON/STANDBY until “Deep Color:Off” appears on the AV receiver’s display. Then, release both buttons. To reactivate the DeepColor function, repeat the above process until “Deep Color:On” appears on the AV receiver’s display and release the buttons.

The AV receiver 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 happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in.

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 correctly.

Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, set the AV receiver to standby.

Appendix

Important Note Regarding Video Playback

The AV receiver can upconvert component video and composite video sources for display on a TV connected to the HDMI output. However, if the picture quality of the source is poor, upconversion may make the picture worse or disappear altogether.

In this case, try the following:

1 If the video source is connected to a component video input, connect your TV to COMPONENT

VIDEO MONITOR OUT.

If the video source is connected to a composite video input, connect your TV to MONITOR OUT V.

2 On the main menu, select “Input/Output Assign”, and then “Component Video Input” (➔ page 58).

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN1”.

If the video source is connected to COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “IN2”.

If the video source is connected to a composite video input, select the relevant input selector, and assign it to “- - - - -”.

Tip

•To by-pass the upconversion, set the “Picture Mode” setting to “Direct” (➔ page 70).
