Troubleshooting-Continued There's no sound with a certain signal format? • Check the digital audio output setting on the con- nected device.

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 levels of all speakers have been calibrated (pages 39, 47), the maximum volume setting may change. 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 45). The DVD analog multichannel input doesn't work? • Check the DVD analog multichannel input connec- tions (page 25). • To select the DVD analog multichannel input, press the [MULTI CH] input selector button. • 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 prevent 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 connected 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 recognize 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 malfunction. Video There's no picture? • Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 22). • Make sure that each video component is properly con- nected. • The AV receiver does not convert between formats. So if your video component is connected to a composite video input, your TV must be connected to the composite video output (page 23). • On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV receiver is connected is selected. Tuner 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 36). • 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. Remote Controller The remote controller doesn't work? • Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor- rect polarity (page 7). • Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the AV receiver, and that there's no obstruction between the remote controller and the AV receiver's remote control sensor (page 7). • Make sure you've selected the correct remote controller mode (page 12). • Make sure you've entered the correct remote control code. Can't control other components? • Make sure you've selected the correct remote control- ler mode (page 12). • To control Onkyo cassette tape deck, point the remote controller at the AV receiver. • To control Onkyo CD player or MD/CD recorder, point the remote controller at that component. Recording Can't record? • On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected. • To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT, or VIDEO 1 IN to VIDEO 1 OUT). 53

Troubleshooting
—Continued
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 levels of all speakers have been calibrated
(pages 39, 47), the maximum volume setting may
change.
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 45).
The DVD analog multichannel input doesn’t
work?
•
Check the DVD analog multichannel input connec-
tions (page 25).
•
To select the DVD analog multichannel input, press
the [MULTI CH] input selector button.
•
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 listen-
ing mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to
prevent 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 play-
back.
•
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 22).
•
Make sure that each video component is properly con-
nected.
•
The AV receiver does not convert between formats. So
if your video component is connected to a composite
video input, your TV must be connected to the com-
posite video output (page 23).
•
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 36).
•
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.
The remote controller doesn’t work?
•
Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor-
rect polarity (page 7).
•
Make sure that the remote controller is not too far
away from the AV receiver, and that there’s no
obstruction between the remote controller and the AV
receiver’s remote control sensor (page 7).
•
Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-
ler mode (page 12).
•
Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control
code.
Can’t control other components?
•
Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-
ler mode (page 12).
•
To control Onkyo cassette tape deck, point the remote
controller at the AV receiver.
•
To control Onkyo CD player or MD/CD recorder,
point the remote controller at that component.
Can’t record?
•
On your recorder, make sure the correct input is
selected.
•
To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV
receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs
with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT, or
VIDEO 1 IN to VIDEO 1 OUT).
