Troubleshooting
—Continued
Symptom Possible cause Remedy
Tuner
Reception is noisy, inter-
mittent, and the FM STE-
REO indicator flashes?
You’re too far away from the transmitter. Or,
your FM antenna is in the wrong position or
pointing in the wrong direction. Or, the sta-
tion’s signal strength is poor.
Use the [TUNING MODE] button to select
Manual Tuning mode, and tune the station in
mono (page 36).
Adjust the position, height, and direction of
your FM antenna.
Install an outdoor FM antenna, preferably
one with many elements. Installing an out-
door antenna is a specialist job, so contact
your nearest dealer for advice (page 19).
Reception is hindered by a
crackling noise?
Interference is being caused by fluorescent
lights being turned on or off or by passing
cars.
Install an outdoor antenna as far away as
possible from nearby roads.
Adjust the position or direction of your out-
door antenna.
Move your antenna as far away as possible
from fluorescent lights.
AM reception is hindered
by a buzzing noise, espe-
cially at night or with weak
signals?
Interference caused by electrical equipment,
including fluorescent lights.
Relocate your AM antenna.
Install an outdoor AM antenna (page 19).
AM reception is hindered
by a high-pitched noise?
Interference caused by your TV.
Move the AM loop antenna as far away as
possible from your TV.
Move the AV Receiver as far away as possi-
ble from your TV.
The tuner presets no
longer work?
The power cord has not been connected to a
wall outlet, or the power has been turned off
for an extended period.
Preset your favorite radio stations again
(page 37). The power cord must be plugged
into a wall outlet a few times each month in
order to preserve the presets.
Recording
Sound can be heard from
the speakers, but it cannot
be recorded?
From the VIDEO 1 OUT, you’re trying to
record the signal being fed into the VIDEO
1 IN, or from the TAPE OUT, you’re trying
to record the signal being fed into the TAPE
IN.
To prevent signal loops and damage to the
AV Receiver, input signals are not fed
through to outputs with the same name (e.g.,
TAPE IN/OUT or VIDEO 1 IN/OUT).
You’re playing Dolby Digital or DTS source
material.
You cannot record from an AV component
that is connected digitally.
Although you cannot record Dolby Digital
or DTS surround channels, you can record
the left and right channels by connecting the
source AV component’s analog left and right
outputs to a pair of analog inputs on the AV
Receiver.
The wrong input source is selected on your
recorder.
Select the correct input source. See your
recorder’s manual for more information.
Can’t record the surround-
sound effects produced by
the listening modes?
This is normal. The surround-sound effects
produced by the listening modes cannot be
recorded.
Others
The Late Night function
doesn’t work?
The Late Night function only works with
Dolby Digital.
“ DIGITAL” appears on the display when
using a Dolby Digital source.
The multichannel DVD
input doesn’t work?
The multichannel input is not selected.
Press the [MULTI CH] button to select the
multichannel input (page 35).
The AV component is not properly con-
nected.
Connect the AV component’s 5.1-channel
outputs to the AV Receiver’s DVD IN
FRONT, SURR, CENTER, and SUB-
WOOFER sockets (page 24).
The listening mode
changes to Stereo when
headphones are
connected?
This is normal. When you connect a pair of
headphones, the Stereo listening mode is
selected automatically.
There’s nothing shown on
the display.
The Pure Audio listening mode is selected.
When this mode is selected, the display and
the internal video circuits are all turned off
and no video signals are output.
