Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the receiver, use this troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the problem.

There is no sound or only a very low-level sound no matter which component is selected.

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

•Check that both the receiver and all components are turned on.

•Check that you have selected the correct component on the receiver.

•Check that MASTER VOLUME –/+ is not set at “VOL MIN”.

•Check that the SPEAKER A or SPEAKER B is not set to off (page 17).

•Press MUTING on the remote to cancel the muting function.

There is no sound from a specific component.

•Check that the component is connected correctly to the audio input jacks for that component.

•Check that the cord(s) used for the connection is (are) fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component.

•Check that you have selected the correct component on the receiver.

There is no sound from one of the front speakers.

•Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack to verify that sound is output from the headphones. If only one channel is output from the headphones, the component may not be connected to the receiver correctly. Check that all the cords are fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component. If both channels are output from the headphones, the front speaker may not be connected to the receiver correctly. Check the connection of the front speaker which is not outputting any sound.

The left and right sounds are unbalanced or reversed.

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

•Adjust the balance (page 15).

There is severe hum or noise.

•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

(10 feet) away from a TV set or 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.

Recording cannot be done.

•Check that the components are connected correctly.

•Select the source component with input buttons.

The FM reception is poor.

•Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna as shown below. If you connect the receiver to an outdoor antenna, ground it against lightning. To prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.
