Troubleshooting
If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a
solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue
yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.
■ Can’t turn on the AV receiver
■ The AV receiver turns off unexpectedly
■ The AV receiver turns off and after restoring the
power, it turns off again
■ There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet
If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the
AV receiver before contacting your Onkyo dealer.
To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it
on and, while holding down VCR/DVR, press
ON/STANDBY. “Clear” will appear on the AV
receiver’s display and the AV receiver will enter
standby mode.
Note that resetting the AV receiver will delete your radio
presets and custom settings.
To reset the remote controller to its factory defaults,
while holding down RECEIVER, press and hold down
HOME until the remote indicator lights (about 3
seconds). Within 30 seconds, press RECEIVER
again.
