Remote does not
adjust the volume
Be sure the 1/8 in (3.5 mm) mini-plug is firmly inserted in the SYSTEM CONTROL 2 jack (Model 5 music
center only).
If you are using an RC-20 or RC-5 remote control, make sure the remote control switch settings are correct.
If you are using a local volume control (VCA), turn it to the off position.
Volume
suddenly decreases
Lower the volume setting to see if the level returns to normal. If so, the sudden loss of volume was an inten-
tional action of the amplifier’s overload protection feature. This engages automatically if the volume is set
too high and is overdriving the speakers. Choosing a lower setting should ensure continuous, even volume.
Zone 2 does not
work at all
If you are using a Lifestyle
®
DVD system, the stereo amplifier will not work unless “Zone 2 Protocol” in
the system settings menu is set to “Legacy”. For more information, consult your Lifestyle
®
DVD system’s
owners guide.
