•Input signals that are more than 480i of the COMPONENT VIDEO are not received when signals are output from the HDMI jack, S-VIDEO jack or VIDEO jack. (In other words, the receiver cannot convert the component video signals.) Input the 480i of the component video signal.

•Use a video jack as the component jack, and set PROGRESSIVE OUT to “OFF” when you output more than 480i input component signals.

The source image input from the HDMI jack is not output from an amplifier or the TV speaker connected to the receiver.

•Check the cable connection.

•Depending on the playback component, component side may need to be set up. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the each component.

The MULTI CHANNNEL DECODING lamp does not light up in blue.

•Check that the playback component is connected on a digital jack and the input is selected properly on this receiver.

•Check whether the digital audio output of selected input is not assigned to another component input using DIGITAL ASSIGN function (page 61).

•Check whether the input source of the software being played back corresponds to the multi channel format.

•Check whether the setup on the playback component is set to multi channel sound.

Remote control

The remote does not function.

•Point the remote at the remote sensor on the receiver.

•Remove any obstacles in the path between the remote and the receiver.

•Replace all the batteries in the remote with new ones, if they are weak.

•Check if the command modes of the receiver and the remote are the same. If the command mode of the receiver and the remote are different, you cannot operate the receiver with the remote (page 46).

•Make sure you select the correct input on the remote.

•When “2ND ZONE” or “3RD ZONE” appears, or when the sound fields are not fully displayed, check if the remote is registered for the receiver correctly (RM- AAE003 only).

•When you operate a programmed non- Sony component, the remote may not function properly depending on the model and the maker of the component (RM- AAE003 only).

*Models of area code CEL only.

Error messages
