Onkyo TX-SR505E Remote controller doesn’t work, Can’t control other components, Can’t record

Troubleshooting—Continued

•While the Pure Audio listening mode (not North Amer- ican model) is selected, the video circuits are turned off and the AV receiver outputs no video signals.

•For TX-SR505 North American model/ TX-SR505E/TX-SR575: Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported (page 27).

Tuner

Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t appear

•Relocate your antenna.

•Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com- puter.

•Listen to the station in mono (page 42).

•When listening to an AM station, operating the remote controller may cause noise.

•Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.

•Concrete walls weaken radio signals.

•If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna.

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn’t work

•Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor- rect polarity (page 16).

•Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the AV receiver, and that there’s no obstruction between the remote controller and the AV receiver’s remote control sensor (page 16).

•Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control- ler mode (page 12).

•Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control code (page 62).

Can’t control other components

•Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control- ler mode (page 12).

•If you’ve connected an -capable Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, or RI Dock to the TAPE IN/OUT jacks or CBL/SAT jacks, for the remote con- troller to work properly, you must set the Input Dis- play to MD, CDR, or DOCK (page 39).

•The entered remote control code may not be correct. If more than one code is listed, try each one.

•With some AV components, certain buttons may not work as expected, and some may not work at all.

•To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via

, point the remote controller at the AV receiver. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first (page 62).

•To control an Onkyo component that’s not connected

via , or another manufacturer’s component, point the remote controller at the component. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first (page 62).

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., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT, or VCR/DVR IN to VCR/DVR OUT).

•When the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, recording is not possible because no video signals are output. Select another listening mode.

Others

The sound changes when I connect my head- phones

•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 (not North American model).

The display doesn’t work

•The display is turned off when the Pure Audio (not North American model) listening mode is selected.

How do I change the language of a multiplex source

•Use the “Multiplex” setting on the “Audio Adjust” menu to select Main or Sub (page 53).

The functions don’t work

•To use , you must make an connection and an analog audio connection (RCA) between the compo- nent and AV receiver, even if they are connected digi- tally (page 33).

During automatic speaker setup, measurement fails and the message “Noise Error!” appears

•This can be caused by a speaker malfunction. Make sure all of your speakers are working properly.
