Remedy

Set the SIGNAL SELECT to AUTO (make sure your LD player is hooked up with analog connections in addition to digital and 2RF connections, see p.18).

To get more signal to the subwoofer set it to PLUS or choose SMALL for the front speakers (see p.38-40).

Select the correct number of input channels.

Switch the setting to ADJUST mode.

Set the MULTI CH INPUT to 8 channel.

Check the MULTI CH IN connection and select the type of playback with the MULTI CH IN button.

Press the INPUT ATT button (see p.57).

If the player has an analog output setting, lower it as necessary.

Check that personal computers or other digital components connected to the same power source are not causing interference.

This is not a malfunction, but be sure to turn the volume down to prevent the output of loud noise from your speakers.

Set the SIGNAL SELECT to DIGITAL.

You can only record analog to analog, or digital to digital.

You can't record digital sources that have been copy protected.

Check all connections.

If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity

Disconnect the power plug from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions.
