Problem

check that...

Sound only comes from some 

of the speakers

<

 you have an appropriate surround source selected and playing.

<

 the BD/DVD disc is encoded in the appropriate format, and the correct 

format has been selected in the disc start menu of the BD player (if 

applicable).

<

 the BD/DVD player has been set to output ‘bitstream’ audio on the digital 

output.

<

 the display window indicates that the disc you are playing is a multichannel 

recording (you may need to press the 

iNFO

 key several times until you get to 

the ‘incoming format’ display).

<

 all the speakers are correctly connected to the speaker terminals and are 

secure.

<

 you have not selected ‘Stereo’ as the decoding mode.

<

 your speaker balance is correct.

<

 you have configured the AVr360 to include all the speakers in your system.

Unable to select Dolby Digital 

or DTS decoding modes

The AVr360 can only apply Dolby Digital and DTS decoding to sources which 

have been encoded in the same format.
Check that:

<

  digital source is selected and connected.

<

 the source is playing appropriately encoded material.

<

 the BD/DVD disc is encoded in the appropriate format and that the 

correct format has been selected in the disc start menu of the BD player (if 

applicable).

<

 the BD/DVD player has been set to output ‘bitstream’ audio on the digital 

output.

When playing a Dolby Digital 

BD, the AVR360 selects Dolby 

Pro Logic

<

 you have a digital connection from your BD player.

<

 sometimes Dolby Digital BD/DVD discs contain material at either the 

beginning or the end of the main movie that is not in full 5.1 format, but in 

two-channel or Pro Logic decoding.

Hum on the analogue input

<

 all cables are making a good connection. If necessary withdraw the cable 

from the connector and plug it fully in again (turn the power off before 

doing this).

<

 the connections inside the source cable connector are not broken or badly 

soldered.

<

 if the hum originates only when one particular source component is 

connected, that an aerial cable, or dish connection to this source is ground 

isolated. Contact your installation contractor.

There is radio or television 

reception interference

<

 where the interference is coming from. Switch off each source component in 

turn, then any other equipment. Most electronic equipment does generate 

low levels of interference.

<

 try re-arranging cabling from the nuisance source away from other cabling.

<

 ensure that the cabling used is high quality, specified for its purpose, and is 

properly screened.

<

 if the problem persists, contact your dealer.

Problem

check that...

The source switching changes 

randomly or freezes on one 

source

<

 there are no static or impulse interference problems caused by nearby power 

equipment switching, e.g., heating or air conditioning control. Switch the 

AVr360 off, wait ten seconds, then switch it on again to clear an operating 

problem. Contact your installer if the problem returns or persists.

<

 there is no direct sunlight shining on the infra-red detector behind the front 

panel display.

Volume is always too loud 

when I turn on

<

 the ‘max on volume’ setting is not set too high.

When Zone 2 is put into 

standby, the main zone is also 

switched off

<

 the ‘zone standby‘ setting in the setup menu is set to LOCAL.

When a USB memory device is 

connected, ‘USB’ is not shown 

in the network client’s list of 

folders

<

 a USB memory device is connected that conforms to the mass storage class.

<

 a USB hub is not being used.

If files on a USB memory 

device cannot be played:

<

 the USB device is formatted in FAT16 or FAT32.

<

 the USB device does not have multiple partitions.

<

 the files are in a compatible format.

If files on a computer cannot 

be played

<

 the files are in a compatible format.

<

 the computer is connected via a network and not USB – the AVr360 USB 

port cannot be used for a direct connection to a computer

If you cannot connect to a 

wired network

<

 the Ethernet cable you are using is correctly connected between the AVr360 

and the network hardware.

<

 the network is set up for fixed IP addressing and you have the AVr360 set to 

use DHCP. 

<

 the network is set up for DHCP and you have the AVr360 set to use fixed IP 

addressing.

If you cannot connect to a 

favourite internet radio station

<

 the station is still broadcasting or is not congested – try again later.

If the internet radio station 

sound quality is poor or 

broken

<

 the radio station does not have a low bit rate (use the 

iNFO

 key to find this or 

look on the OSD).

<

 the network is not slow or congested.
