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 37).
For AM broadcasts
• Adjust the position and direction of the AM antenna.
• Use an outdoor antenna for better reception (see page 37).
• 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.
Speaker switching sound
(clicking sound) is heard from
receiver during playback.
• Depending on the listening mode, the front height (or front wide) and surround back speakers may
switch automatically in function of changes in the input audio. A speaker switching sound (clicking
sound) will be heard from the receiver at this time. If this sound bothers you, we recommend
changing the listening mode (see
Listening in surround sound
on page 59).
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 62).
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 the
multichannel analog inputs
on page 34).
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 115).
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 24).
