14 Additional information Other audio problems Symptom Remedy 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 to change the speaker terminal option (see Switching the speaker terminals on page 61). Broadcast stations cannot be selected automatically, or there is considerable noise in radio 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 29). Adjust the position and direction of the AM antenna. 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. 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 Make sure that the input signal type is set to DIGITAL (see Choosing is audible noise on the soundtrack. the input signal on page 47). 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. 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 88). 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 18). 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 on page 89). Full Band Phase Control cannot be selected. Perform Full Auto MCACC measurements (see Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 34). Full Band Phase Control automatically turns on once measurements are completed. Noise or hum can be heard even when Check that personal computers or other digital components con- there is no sound being input. nected to the same power source are not causing interference. Symptom Can't select some Input functions by the INPUT SELECTOR on the front panel or the INPUT SELECT button on the remote control. There seems to be a time lag between the speakers and the output of the subwoofer. The maximum volume available (shown in the front panel display) is lower than the +12dB maximum. Certain listening modes or HOME MENU items cannot be selected. Remedy Check the Input Skip settings in the Input Setup menu (see The Input Setup menu on page 36). Check the HDMI Input assignment in the Input Setup menu then try OFF (see The Input Setup menu on page 36). See Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 34 to set up your system again using MCACC (this will automatically compensate for a delay in the subwoofer output). Check that the Volume Limit is set to OFF (see Volume Setup on page 92). When Operation Mode is set to Basic, the Pioneer-recommended settings are made and not all of the functions can be used. To use all of the functions without restrictions, set Operation Mode to Expert (see Operation Mode Setup on page 36). ADAPTER PORT terminal 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. 96 En
