En

The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN 
can’t be heard

There’s no picture

There’s no picture from a source connected to 
an HDMI IN

The on-screen menus don’t appear

The picture is distorted

The on screen display does not appear

Reception is noisy, FM stereo reception is 
noisy, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t light

The remote controller doesn’t work

Can’t control other components

Since it takes longer to identify the format of an 
HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio sig-
nals, audio output may not start immediately.

Video

Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed 
in all the way.

16

Make sure that each video component is properly 
connected.

17

If your TV is connected to the 

HDMI OUT

, select 

- - - - -

” in the “

HDMI Input

” setup to watch com-

posite video, and component video sources.

39

If the video source is connected to a component 
video input, you must assign that input to an input 
selector, and your TV must be connected to either 
the 

HDMI OUT

 or 

COMPONENT VIDEO MONI-

TOR OUT

.

18

39

If the video source is connected to a composite video 
input, your TV must be connected to the 

HDMI 

OUT

 or the corresponding composite video output.

18

If the video source is connected to an HDMI input, 
you must assign that input to an input selector, and 
your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT.

17

39

While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the 
video circuitry is turned off and only video signals 
input through HDMI IN can be output.

On your TV, make sure that the video input to which 
the AV receiver is connected is selected.

Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is 
not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC 
are not guaranteed.

73

When the Resolution is set to any resolution not sup-
ported by the TV, no video is output by the HDMI 
outputs. 

39

If the message Resolution Error appears on the AV 
receiver’s display, this indicates that your TV does 
not support the current video resolution and you 
need to select another resolution on your DVD 
player.

(European, Australian and Asian models)

 Specify 

the TV system used in your area in the TV Format 
Setup.

50

On your TV, make sure that the video input to which 
the AV receiver is connected is selected.

HDMI, onscreen menus are not displayed.

(European, Australian and Asian models)

 Specify 

the TV system used in your area in the TV Format.

50

Depending on the input signal, the on screen display 
may not appear when the input signal from the 

HDMI IN

 is output to a device connected to the 

HDMI OUT

.

50

Tuner

Relocate your antenna.

Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com-
puter.

Listen to the station in mono.

28

When listening to an AM station, operating the 
remote controller may cause noise.

Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.

Concrete walls weaken radio signals.

If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor 
antenna.

Remote Controller

Before operating this unit, be sure to press 

RECEIVER

.

Make sure that the batteries are installed with the 
correct polarity.

4

Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of 
batteries, or old and new batteries.

4

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.

4

Make sure that the AV receiver is not subjected to 
direct sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights. 
Relocate if necessary.

If the AV receiver is installed in a rack or cabinet 
with colored-glass doors, the remote controller may 
not work reliably when the doors are closed.

Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote con-
troller mode.

11

64

When using the remote controller to control other 
manufacturers’ AV components, some buttons may 
not work as expected.

Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control 
code.

63

Make sure to set the same ID on both the AV receiver 
and remote controller.

50

If it’s an Onkyo component, make sure that the 

u

 

cable and analog audio cable are connected properly. 
Connecting only an 

u

 cable won’t work.

20

Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote con-
troller mode.

11

64

If you’ve connected a cassette tape deck, to the 

TV/

CD

 

IN

 jack, or an RI Dock to the 

TV/CD

 

IN

 or 

GAME IN
