Remedy
Broadcast stations cannot be
selected automatically, or there is
considerable noise in radio
broadcasts.
For FM broadcasts
• Fully extend the FM wire antenna, adjust the position for best reception and secure to a wall, etc.
• Use an outdoor antenna for better reception (see page 22).
For AM broadcasts
• Adjust the position and direction of the AM antenna.
• Use an outdoor antenna for better reception (see page 22).
• Noise may be caused by interference from other equipment, such as a fluorescent light, motor, etc.
Switch off or move the other equipment, or move the AM antenna.
A multichannel DVD source
appears to be downmixed to 2
channels during playback.
• Make sure that the multichannel analog inputs are selected (see
Selecting the multichannel analog inputs
on page 56).
Noise is output when scanning a
DTS CD.
• This is not a malfunction of the receiver. The scan function of your player alters the digital information,
making it unreadable, resulting in noise being output. Lower the volume when scanning.
When playing a DTS format LD
there is audible noise on the
soundtrack.
• Make sure that the input signal type is set to
DIGITAL
(see
Choosing the input signal
on page 31).
Can’t record audio.
• You can only make a digital recording from a digital source, and an analog recording from an analog
source.
• For digital sources, make sure that what you’re recording isn’t copy protected.
• Check that the
OUT
jacks are properly connected to the recorders input jacks (see
Connecting analog
audio sources
on page 18).
Recorded audio is different from
the current source, or inaudible.
• The
RECOUT
source is set to an input source other than the source you’re listening to. Select
RECOUT
SOURCE
to record the current input source (see
Playing a different source when recording
on page 72).
Subwoofer output is very low.
• To route more signal to the subwoofer, set it to
PLUS
or set the front speakers to
SMALL
(see
Speaker
Setting
on page 50).
Everything seems to be set up
correctly, but the playback sound
is odd.
• The speakers may be out of phase. Check that the positive/negative speaker terminals on the receiver are
matched with the corresponding terminals on the speakers (see
Connecting the speakers
on page 19).
The
PHASE CONTROL
feature
doesn’t seem to have an audible
effect.
• If applicable, check that the lowpass filter switch on your subwoofer is off, or the lowpass cutoff is set to
the highest frequency setting. If there is a
PHASE
setting on your subwoofer, set it to 0º (or depending on
the subwoofer, the setting where you think it has the best overall effect on the sound).
• Make sure the speaker distance setting is correct for all speakers (see
Speaker Distance
on page 51).
Noise or hum can be heard even
when there is no sound being
input.
• Check that personal computers or other digital components connected to the same power source are not
causing interference.
There seems to be a time lag
between the speakers and the
output of the subwoofer.
• See
Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC & Full Band Phase Control)
on page 8 to set up
your system again using MCACC (this will automatically compensate for a delay in the subwoofer output).
Can’t use the SR+ features.
• Make sure that HDMI Control is set to OFF (see
Setting the HDMI Control mode
on page 65).
The maximum volume available
(shown in the front panel display)
is lower than the
+12dB
maximum.
• This is not a malfunction. If the levels in
Channel Level
on page 51 have been adjusted, the maximum
volume will change accordingly.
No sound is output from the CD-
R/TAPE OUT, DVR/VCR1 OUT or
DVR/VCR2 OUT jack.
• Make sure that
ZONE 2 / RECSEL Setting
in the
ZONE Audio Setup
menu is set to
RECSEL
(see
ZONE
Audio Setup
on page 68).
Can’t select ZONE 2.
• Make sure that
ZONE 2 / RECSEL Setting
in the
ZONE Audio Setup
menu is set to
ZONE 2
(see
ZONE
Audio Setup
on page 68).
