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

page 116).

SC-37 only:

Full Band Phase

Control cannot be selected.

• Perform Full Auto MCACC measurements (see

Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning

(Full Auto MCACC)

on page 43). Full Band Phase Control automatically turns on once measurements

are completed.

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.

Can’t select some Input

functions by the

INPUT

SELECTOR

on the front panel

or the

INPUT SELECT

button on

the remote control.

• Check the

Input Skip

settings in the

Input Setup

menu.

• Check the HDMI Input assignment in the Input Setup menu then try OFF.

There seems to be a time lag

between the speakers and the

output of the subwoofer.

• See

Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC)

on page 43 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 Setup

on page 119).

• The channel level setting may be over

0dB

Symptom

Remedy

The

Bluetooth

wireless

technology device cannot be

connected or operated.

Sound from the

Bluetooth

wireless technology device is

not emitted or the sound is

interrupted.

• Check that no object that emits electromagnetic waves in the 2.4 GHz band (microwave

oven, wireless LAN device or

Bluetooth

wireless technology apparatus) is near the unit. If

such an object is near the unit, set the unit far from it. Or, stop using the object emitting the

electromagnetic waves.

• Check that the

Bluetooth

wireless technology device is not too far from the unit and that

obstructions are not set between the

Bluetooth

wireless technology device and the unit. Set

the

Bluetooth

wireless technology device and the unit so that the distance between them is

less than about 10 m and no obstructions exist between them.

• Check that the

Bluetooth

ADAPTER and the

ADAPTER PORT

of the unit are correctly connected.

• The

Bluetooth

wireless technology device may not be set to the communication mode

supporting the

Bluetooth

wireless technology. Check the setting of the

Bluetooth

wireless

technology device.

• Check that pairing is correct. The pairing setting was deleted from this unit or the

Bluetooth

wireless technology device. Reset the pairing.

• Check that the profile is correct. Use a

Bluetooth

wireless technology device that supports

A2DP profile and AVRCP profile.

Symptom

Remedy

No image is output when an

input is selected.

• Check the video connections of the source component (see page 32).

• For HDMI, or when digital video conversion is set to

OFF

and a TV and another component are

connected with different cords (in

Setting the Video options

on page 78), you must connect your TV

to this receiver using the same type of video cable as you used to connect your video component.

• Make sure the input assignment is correct for components connected using component video or

HDMI cables (see

The Input Setup menu

on page 45).

• Check the video output settings of the source component.

• Check that the video input you selected on your TV is correct.

• Some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. If

adjusting this receiver’s Resolution setting (in

Setting the Video options

on page 78) and/or the

resolution settings on your component or display doesn’t work, try switching Digital Video

Conversion (in

Setting the Video options

on page 78) to

OFF
