Troubleshooting

17

If you run into problems with the unit, look for a solution below. The problem could also be caused by one of the 
components connected to the unit, so please also check the manuals of each device.

Caution

-

This unit contains a sophisticated microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, however, severe 
interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lock up. If this happens, turn off the unit, wait for 
about five seconds, and then turn it on again.

-

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit's malfunction. Before 
you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.
