Troubleshooting—Continued
The subwoofer produces no sound
•When you play source material that contains no infor- mation in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.
•Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (pages 70, 71).
The Zone 2 speakers produce no sound
•The Zone 2 speakers only output sources that are con- nected to an analog input. Check to see if the source is connected to an analog input.
There’s no sound with a certain signal format
•Check the digital audio output setting on the con- nected device. On some games consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.
•With some

The volume cannot be set to +18 dB (99)
•After the Automatic Speaker Setup function has been used, or the volume level of each speaker has been adjusted (pages 58, 73), the maximum possible vol- ume setting be reduced.
Noise can be heard
•Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the audio performance, so don’t do it.
•An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try repositioning your cables.
The Late Night function doesn’t work
•Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital (page 68).
The multichannel DVD input doesn’t work
•Check the multichannel DVD input connections (page 28).
•To select the multichannel DVD input, press the [MULTI CH] input selector button.
•Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.
About DTS signals
•When playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player may produce a short audible noise. This is not a mal- function.
•When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit- stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen- ing mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the AV receiver does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear any sound, in which case you should stop your player for about 3 seconds, and then resume playback.
•With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is con- nected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver doesn’t recog- nize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.
The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN can’t be heard
•Since it takes longer to identify the format of an HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio sig- nals, audio output may not start immediately.
Video
There’s no picture
•Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 24).
•Make sure that each video component is properly con- nected.
•If a video component is connected to a component video input, your TV must be connected to the COM- PONENT VIDEO OUT or HDMI OUT (page 25).
•If a video component is connected to an HDMI input, your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT.
•While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the video circuitry is turned off and only the HDMI OUT outputs video signals.
•On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV receiver is connected is selected.
