Can’t record video.

Check that the source is not copy-protected.

Check that the same type of video cable is used for connecting

 

both the recorder and the video source (the one you want to

 

record) to this receiver.

Noisy, intermittent, or distorted picture.

Sometimes a video deck may output a noisy video signal (during

 

scanning, for example), or the video quality may just be poor (with

 

some video game units, for example). The picture quality may also

 

depend on the settings, etc. of your display device. Switch off the

 

video converter and reconnect the source and display device using

 

the same type of connection (component or composite), then start

 

playback again.

component terminal.nected to the component terminal and another monitor is connected to the HDMI terminal, the video signals may not be output to the monitor connected to the component terminal. If this hap- pens, do the following:

—Turn off the power of the monitor connected to the HDMI ter- minal.

—Change the VIDEO PARAMETER menu RES setting (see Setting the Video options on page 48 ).

Auto MCACC Setup on page 25 ). If the noise level cannot be kept

 

low enough, you will have to set up the surround sound manually

 

(page 64).

 

When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the

 

SURROUND BACK L (Single) terminals.

 

To use a 5.1-channel speaker set, use the surround speakers for

 

the surround channel, not the surround back channel.

 

Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the

 

microphone.

 

If Reverse Phase is displayed, try the following:

 

— The speaker’s wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the

 

speaker connections.

 

— Depending on the type of speakers and their installation con-

 

ditions, Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers

 

are properly connected. If this happens, select GO NEXT and

 

continue.

 

— If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening posi-

 

tion) or when using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speak-

 

ers, reflective speakers, etc.), it may not be possible to properly

 

identify the polarity.

occur in some cases. Change the speaker setting manually in
