Symptom 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 30).
For AM broadcasts
• Adjust the position and direction of the AM antenna.
• Use an outdoor antenna for better reception (see page 30).
• 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 42).
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 58).
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 other audio components on page 29).
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 95).
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 18).
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 page97).
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 (Auto MCACC) on page 37 to
set up your system again using MCACC (this will automatically compensate for
a delay in the subwoofer output).
The maximum volume
available (shown in the front
panel display) is lower than
the +12dB maximum.
• Check that the Volume Limit is set to OFF (see Volume Limit Setup on
page 100).
