Additional information 14 Video Symptom No image is output when an input is selected. Can't record video. Noisy, intermittent, or distorted picture. Video signals are not output from the component terminal. The picture's movement is unnatural. Remedy Check the video connections of the source component. 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 59), 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 36). 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 59) 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 59) to OFF. Check that the source is not copy-protected. The video converter is not available when making recordings. Check that the same type of video cable is used for connecting both the recorder and the video source (the one you want to record) to this receiver. Sometimes a video deck may output a noisy video signal (during scanning, for example), or the video quality may just be poor (with some video game units, for example). The picture quality may also depend on the settings, etc. of your display device. Switch off the video converter and reconnect the source and display device using the same type of connection (component or composite), then start playback again. When a monitor only compatible with resolutions of 480i is connected to the component terminal and another monitor is connected to the HDMI terminal, the video signals may not be output to the monitor connected to the component terminal. If this happens, do the following: - Turn off the power of the monitor connected to the HDMI terminal. - Change the VIDEO PARAMETER menu RES setting (see Setting the Video options on page 59). - Video signals from the HDMI terminal cannot be output to the component terminals. Input the video signals from the player or other source to the composite or component terminals. When using the component terminal, assign it at Input Setup (see The Input Setup menu on page 36). When Resolution under VIDEO PARAMETER is set to 1080/24p, the picture may not be displayed properly for some source materials. In this case, set the resolution to something other than 1080/24p (page 59). Settings Symptom The Auto MCACC Setup continually shows an error. After using the Auto MCACC Setup, the speaker size setting is incorrect. Can't adjust the Fine Speaker Distance setting properly. Remedy The ambient noise level may be too high. Keep the noise level in the room as low as possible (see also Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 35). If the noise level cannot be kept low enough, you will have to set up the surround sound manually (page 87). When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L (Single) terminals. To use a 5.1-channel speaker set, use the surround speakers for the surround channel, not the surround back channel. Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone. If Reverse Phase is displayed, try the following: - The speaker's wiring (+ and -) may be inverted. Check the speaker connections. - Depending on the type of speakers and their installation conditions, Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected. If this happens, select GO NEXT and continue. - If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), it may not be possible to properly identify the polarity. There may have been some low frequency noise in the room from an airconditioner, motor, etc. Switch off all other appliances in the room and use Auto MCACC Setup again. Depending on a number of factors (bass reproduction capabilities of the speakers, room size, speaker placement, etc.) this may occur in some cases. Change the speaker setting manually in Speaker Setting on page 88, and use the ALL (Keep SP System) option for the Auto MCACC menu in Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 80 if this is a recurring problem. Check that the speakers are all in phase (make sure the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals are matched up properly). En 97
