Troubleshooting—Continued

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., TV/TAPE IN to TV/TAPE OUT or VCR/DVR IN to VCR/DVR 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 headphones

•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. (Pure Audio listening mode is not available for North American/Taiwan models.)

How do I change the language of a multiplex source

•On the “Audio Adjust” menu, change the “Input (Mux)” setting to “Main” or “Sub” (page 71).

The u functions don’t work

•To use u, you must make an uconnection and an analog audio connection (RCA) between the component and AV receiver, even if they are connected digitally (page 35).

•While Zone 2 is selected, the ufunctions don’t work.

The AV receiver’s display doesn’t work

•The display is turned off when the Pure Audio listening mode is selected. Select another listening mode.

The following settings can be made for the composite video inputs

You must use the buttons on the unit to make these settings.

1.While holding down the input selector button for the input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP] button.

2.Use the Left and Right [e]/[r] buttons to change the setting.

3.Press the [SETUP] button when you’ve finished.

• Video Attenuation

This setting can be made for the DVD/BD, VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT, or AUX input.

If you have a games console connected to the composite video input, and the picture isn’t very clear, you can attenuate the gain.

Video ATT:0: (default).

Video ATT:2: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.

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 5 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 this 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.
