Sound can be heard from the speakers, but it cannot be recorded? Can't record the surroundsound effects produced by the listening modes? The Late Night function doesn't work? The multichannel DVD input doesn't work? The listening mode changes to Stereo when headphones are connected? Possible cause 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 station's signal strength is poor. Interference is being caused by fluorescent lights being turned on or off or by passing cars. Interference caused by electrical equipment, including fluorescent lights. Interference caused by your TV. The power cord has not been connected to a wall outlet, or the power has been turned off for an extended period. 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. You're playing Dolby Digital or DTS source material. You cannot record from an AV component that is connected digitally. The wrong input source is selected on your recorder. This is normal. The surround-sound effects produced by the listening modes cannot be recorded. The Late Night function only works with Dolby Digital. The multichannel input is not selected. The AV component is not properly connected. This is normal. When you connect a pair of headphones, the Stereo listening mode is selected automatically. Remedy Use the [TUNING MODE] button to select Manual Tuning mode, and tune the station in mono (page 34). Adjust the position, height, and direction of your FM antenna. Install an outdoor FM antenna, preferably one with many elements. Installing an outdoor antenna is a specialist job, so contact your nearest dealer for advice (page 19). Install an outdoor antenna as far away as possible from nearby roads. Adjust the position or direction of your outdoor antenna. Move your antenna as far away as possible from fluorescent lights. Relocate your AM antenna. Install an outdoor AM antenna (page 19). Move the AM loop antenna as far away as possible from your TV. Move the HT-R520 as far away as possible from your TV. Preset your favorite radio stations again (page 35). The power cord must be plugged into a wall outlet a few times each month in order to preserve the presets. To prevent signal loops and damage to the HT-R520, input signals are not fed through to outputs with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN/OUT or VIDEO 1 IN/OUT). 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 HT-R520. Select the correct input source. See your recorder's manual for more information. " DIGITAL" appears on the display when using a Dolby Digital source. Press the [MULTI CH] button to select the multichannel input (page 33). Connect the AV component's 5.1-channel outputs to the HT-R520's DVD IN FRONT, SURR, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER sockets (page 24).
