Techno Tidbits & Problem-solving Symptom No sound from surround or center speakers. Sound is produced from some components, but not from digital components. No sound is output or a noise is output when software with DTS is played back. The sound is output intermittently when software with DTS is played back. The overload indicator is lit. When a search is performed by a DTS compatible CD player during playback, noise is output. Cannot be remote controlled. The display is dark. Cause Remedy • Speaker settings are incorrect. • The surround and/or center levels are turned down. • The surround and/or center speakers are disconnected. • See "Speaker Setting" on p.26-27 to check the speaker settings. • See "Channel Level" p.29 to check the speaker levels. • Connect the speakers (see p.14). • SIGNAL SELECT is set incorrectly. • The digital inputs are assigned incorrectly, or not at all. • Set SIGNAL SELECT to "DIGITAL" or "ANALOG" according to the type of connections made (see p. 40). • Set the digital input settings correctly (see p. 34). • SIGNAL SELECT is set to "ANALOG". • A DVD player not compatible with DTS is being used, or the setting of the DVD player is incorrect. • The digital output level has been turned down on a CD player or other component equipped with digital output level adjustment capability. (The DTS signal has been altered by the player, and cannot be read.) • Make digital connections (see p.10, 11) and set SIGNAL SELECT to "DIGITAL" (see p.40). • Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the DVD player. • Set the digital volume level of the player to full, or to the neutral position. • Disc being played back has a huge amount of information on it. • Use the STANDARD mode to get the best results (see memo, p.38). • The search function performed by the player interferes with the reading of digital information. • The remote control batteries have worn out. • Too far away or bad angle of operation. • There is an obstacle between the receiver and the remote control. • Strong light such as fluorescent light is shining onto the unit's remote control signal lightreceiving window. • A cord is connected to the CONTROL IN terminal on this unit. • The IR Receiver type is mismatched with the setting. • This is not a malfunction, but be sure to turn the volume down to prevent the output of loud noise from your speakers. • Replace the batteries (see p.6). • Operate within 23 feet (7 m) and 30° of the remote sensor on the front panel (see p.7). • Remove the obstacle or operate from another position. • Avoid exposing the remote sensor on the front panel to direct light. • Connect cord to the correct jack. • Disconnect the IR Receiver from the rear panel, and set to the other IR Receiver type. • The FL DIMMER button is pushed. • Press FL DIMMER on the front panel repeatedly to return to the default setting (see p.43). If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity Disconnect the power plug from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions. 77
