Troubleshooting
—Continued
The remote controller doesn’t work
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor-
rect polarity (page 14).
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far
away from the AV receiver, and that there’s no
obstruction between the remote controller and the AV
receiver’s remote control sensor (page 14).
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-
ler mode (page 10).
• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control
code (page 58).
Can’t control other components
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-
ler mode (page 10).
• If you’ve connected an
-capable Onkyo MD
recorder, CD recorder, or RI Dock to the TAPE
IN/OUT jacks or CBL/SAT jacks, for the remote con-
troller to work properly, you must set the Input Dis-
play to MD, CDR, or DOCK (page 37).
• The entered remote control code may not be correct. If
more than one code is listed, try each one.
• With some AV components, certain buttons may not
work as expected, and some may not work at all.
• To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via
, point the remote controller at the AV receiver. Be
sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first
(page 58).
• To control an Onkyo component that’s not connected
via
, or another manufacturer’s component, point
the remote controller at the component. Be sure to
enter the appropriate remote control code first
(page 58).
Can’t record
• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is
selected.
• To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV
receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs
with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT, or
VCR/DVR IN to VCR/DVR OUT).
• When the Pure Audio listening mode is selected,
recording is not possible because no video signals are
output. Select another listening mode.
The sound changes when I connect my head-
phones
• When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening
mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo,
Mono, Direct, or Pure Audio.
The display doesn’t work
• The display is turned off when the Pure Audio listen-
ing mode is selected.
How do I change the language of a multiplex
source
• Use the “Multiplex” setting on the “Audio Adjust”
menu to select Main or Sub (page 50).
The
functions don’t work
• To use
, you must make an
connection and an
analog audio connection (RCA) between the compo-
nent and AV receiver, even if they are connected digi-
tally (page 31).
During automatic speaker setup, measurement
fails and the message “Noise Error!” appears
• This can be caused by a speaker malfunction. Make
sure all of your speakers are working properly.
Remote Controller
Recording
Others
The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal
processing and control functions. In very rare situa-
tions, severe interference, noise from an external
source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the
unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then
plug it back in 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 cor-
rectly.
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out-
let, set the AV receiver to Standby.
Memory Backup
The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup
system in order to retain radio presets and other set-
tings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power fail-
ure. Although no batteries are required, the AV receiver
must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the
backup system. Once it has been charged, the AV
receiver will retain the settings for several weeks,
although this depends on the environment and will be
shorter in humid climates.
