Professional Calibration EQ graphical output Symptom Remedy The EQ response displayed in the graphical output following calibration does not appear entirely flat. • There are cases where the graph does not appear flat (even when selecting ALL CH ADJ in the Auto MCACC Setup) due to adjustments made to compensate for room characteristics to achieve optimal sound. • Areas of the graph may appear identical (before and after) when there is little or no adjustment needed. • The graph may appear to have shifted vertically when comparing before and after measurements. EQ adjustments made using the Manual MCACC setup on page 80 do not appear to change the graphical output. • Despite level adjustments being made, the filters used for analysis may not display these adjustments in the graphical output. However, these adjustments are taken this into account by the filters dedicated to overall system calibration. Lower frequency response curves do not seem to have been calibrated for SMALL speakers. • Low frequencies used in bass management (the subwoofer channel) will not change for speakers that have been specified as SMALL in the configuration, or do not output these frequencies. • Calibration is performed, but due to your speakers' low frequency limitations, no measurable sound is output for display. Display Symptom The display is dark or off. After making an adjustment the display goes off. You can't get DIGITAL to display when using SIGNAL SEL. 2 DIGITAL or DTS does not light when playing Dolby/DTS software. When playing Dolby Digital or DTS sources, the receiver's format indicators do not light. When playing certain discs, none of the receiver's format indicators light. When playing a disc with the listening mode set to Auto Surround or ALC, 2 PL II or Neo:6 appear on the receiver. Remedy • Press DIMMER repeatedly to select a different brightness. • Press DIMMER repeatedly to select a different brightness. • Check the digital connections and make sure that the digital inputs are assigned correctly (see The Input Setup menu on page 43). • If the multichannel analog inputs are selected, select a different input function. • These indicators does not light if playback is paused. • Check the playback (especially the digital output) settings of the source component. • Check that the player is connected using a digital connection. • Make sure that the receiver is set to AUTO or DIGITAL (see Choosing the input signal on page 61). • Check that the player isn't set up so that Dolby Digital and DTS sources are converted to PCM. • Ensure that if there are several audio tracks on the disc, the Dolby Digital or DTS is selected. • The disc may not contain 5.1/6.1 channel material. Check the disc packaging for more on what audio tracks are recorded on the disc. • Make sure that the receiver is set to AUTO or DIGITAL (see Choosing the input signal on page 61). • If a two channel soundtrack is currently playing (including Dolby Surround encoded), then this is not a malfunction. Check the disc packaging for details about the audio tracks available. 102 En
