Picture noise appears.

•The disc is dirty or flawed.

•If the picture output from your system goes through your VCR to get to your TV, the copy- protection signal applied to some DVD programs could affect picture quality. If you still experience problems even when you connect your system directly to your TV, try connecting your system to your TV’s S video input (page 20, 26).

Even though you set the aspect ratio in [TV TYPE] of [SCREEN SETUP], the picture does not fill the screen.

• The aspect ratio on the disc is fixed.

Color irregularity occurs on the TV screen.

The subwoofer and the front speakers in this system are magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However, some leakage may occur, as a high-strength magnet is employed. If this happens, check the following items:

•If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers at least 0.3 m from the TV set.

•If the color irregularity persists, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.

•If howling occurs, reposition the speakers farther away from the TV set.

•Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch on a TV stand, health care device, toy, etc.) is placed near the speakers.

SoundThere is no sound.

•The speaker cord is not connected securely.

•Press MUTING on the remote if “MUTING ON” is displayed in the front panel display.

•The system is in pause mode or in Slow-motion Play mode. Press H to return to normal play mode.

•Fast forward or fast reverse is performed. Press H to return to normal play mode.

•Check the speaker connections (page 17).

The left and right sounds are unbalanced or reversed.

•Check that the speakers and components are connected correctly and securely.

There is no sound from the subwoofer.

•Check the speaker connections and settings (page 16).

•When the Setup Disc is used, the volume of the subwoofer may be low. This is by default, and not a malfunction.

Severe hum or noise is heard.

•Check that the speakers and components are connected securely.

•Check that the connecting cords are away from a transformer or motor, and at least 3 meters away from your TV set or a fluorescent light.

•Move your TV away from the audio components.

•The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol.

•Clean the disc.

The sound loses stereo effect when you play a VIDEO CD, CD or DATA CD (MP3 audio).

•Set [AUDIO] to [STEREO] by pressing AUDIO (page 72).

•Make sure the system is connected properly.

The surround effect is difficult to hear when you are playing a Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG audio sound track.

•Make sure the sound field is set to “FOCUS SURROUND” or “WIDE SURROUND” (page 38).

•Check the speaker connections and settings (page 17).

•Depending on the DVD, the output signal may not be the entire 5.1 channel. It may be monaural or stereo even if the sound track is recorded in Dolby Digital or MPEG audio format.

OperationRadio stations cannot be tuned in.

•Check that the antenna (aerial) is connected securely. Adjust the antenna (aerial) or connect an external antenna (aerial) if necessary.

•The signal strength of the stations is too weak (when tuning in with automatic tuning). Use direct tuning.

•No stations have been preset or the preset stations have been cleared (when tuning by scanning preset stations). Preset the stations (page 76).

•Press DISPLAY so that the frequency appears in the front panel display.

The remote does not function.
