Troubleshooting
—Continued
The subwoofer produces no sound?
• The subwoofer outputs no sound while only speaker
set B is on. Turn on speaker set A.
• When you play source material that contains no infor-
mation in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces
no sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 55).
• If the multichannel DVD input is selected and speaker
set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 2-channel play-
back, so the subwoofer outputs no sound.
• On the AV receiver, the subwoofer setting in the
speaker configuration is set to No. Set the subwoofer
setting to Yes.
There’s no sound with a certain signal format?
• Check the digital audio output setting on the con-
nected device. On some games consoles, such as those
that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.
•With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an
audio output format from a menu.
Can’t get 5.1-channel playback?
• When speaker B is turned on, speaker set A is reduced
to 2.1-channel playback.
The volume cannot be set to 79?
• When the subwoofer volume level is set to a positive
(+) value, the maximum master volume level is
reduced proportionally.
Noise can be heard?
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power
cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the
audio performance, so don’t do it.
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try
repositioning your cables.
The Late Night function doesn’t work?
• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital
(page 52).
The DVD analog multichannel input doesn’t
work?
• Check the DVD analog multichannel input connec-
tions (page 29).
•To select the DVD analog multichannel input, press
the [MULTI CH] input selector button (page 40).
• Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.
About DTS signals
• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-
stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listening
mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to pre-
vent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast
reverse function on your player. If you switch your
player from DTS to PCM, because the AV receiver
does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear
any sound, in which case you should stop your player
for about three seconds, and then resume playback.
•With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback
DTS material properly even though your player is con-
nected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is
usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed
(e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency
response changed) and the AV receiver doesn’t recog-
nize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you
may hear noise.
• When playing DTS program material, using the pause,
fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player
may produce a short audible noise. This is not a mal-
function.
There’s no picture?
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed
in all the way (page 26).
• Make sure that each video component is properly con-
nected.
• The AV receiver does not convert between formats, so
if a video source component is connected to a compo-
nent video input, your TV must be connected to the
component video output (page 27).
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which
the AV receiver is connected is selected.
Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers
from hiss, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t
appear?
• Relocate your antenna.
•Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com-
puter.
• Listen to the station in mono (page 41).
• When listening to an AM station, operating the remote
controller may cause noise.
•Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.
• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.
• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor
antenna (page 25).
