Symptom Remedy
Can’t select some Input functions
by the
INPUT SELECTOR on the
front panel or the ALL button on the
remote control.
Check the Input Skip settings in the Input Setup menu (see The Input Setup menu on
page 52 ).
Check the HDMI Input assignment in the Input Setup menu then try OFF (see The Input
Setup menu on page 52 ).
There seems to be a time lag
between the speakers and the output
of the subwoofer. See Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 51
to set up your system again using MCACC (this will automatically compensate for a delay
in the subwoofer output).
The maximum volume available
(shown in the front panel display) is
lower than the
+12dB maximum.
Check that the Volume Limit is set to OFF (see Volume Setup on page 111 ).
The channel level setting may be over 0.0dB .
Certain listening modes or
HOME MENU
items cannot be
selected.
When Operation Mode is set to Basic , the Pioneer-recommended settings are made and
not all of the functions can be used. To use all of the functions without restrictions, set
Operation Mode to Expert (see Operation Mode Setup on page 53 ).
Some functions cannot be selected, depending on the input signal and listening mode.
The volume level drops automati-
cally. The temperature within the unit has exceeded the allowable value. Try moving the unit for
better ventilation (see
Installing the receiver on page 11 ).
Volume seems different when input
is switched. Set the Channel Level setting to ALL , then adjust the volume of the respective input
sources (see Input Volume Absorber on page 87 ).
When HDZONE is ON , multi-channel
audio sources are not output in the
main zone.
When HDZONE is selected in Speaker System and also the same HDMI input is selected
for both the main zone and HDZONE, 2-channel PCM audio sources are output from the
main zone as well. To output multi-channel audio sources, set
HDZONE to OFF or change
the HDZONE input.
No HDZONE sound is output. With HDZONE, multi-channel audio may not be output. In this case, set the audio output
setting of your playback device to 2-channel PCM.
ADAPTER PORT terminal
Symptom Remedy
The Bluetooth wireless technology
device cannot be connected or oper-
ated. Sound from the
Bluetooth wire-
less technology device is not emitted
or the sound is interrupted.
Check that no object that emits electromagnetic waves in the 2.4 GHz band (microwave
oven, wireless LAN device or
Bluetooth wireless technology apparatus) is near the unit. If
such an object is near the unit, set the unit far from it. Or, stop using the object emitting
the electromagnetic waves.
Check that the
Bluetooth wireless technology device is not too far from the unit and that
obstructions are not set between the Bluetooth wireless technology device and the unit.
Set the Bluetooth wireless technology device and the unit so that the distance between
them is less than about 10 m (33 ft.) and no obstructions exist between them.
Check that the
Bluetooth ADAPTER and the ADAPTER PORT of the unit are correctly
connected.
The
Bluetooth wireless technology device may not be set to the communication mode
supporting the Bluetooth wireless technology. Check the setting of the Bluetooth wireless
technology device.
Check that pairing is correct. The pairing setting was deleted from this unit or the
Blue-
tooth wireless technology device. Reset the pairing.
Check that the profile is correct. Use a Bluetooth wireless technology device that sup-
ports A2DP profile and AVRCP profile.
Symptom Remedy
ADT OVERLOAD is displayed on the
display.
There is a problem in the power supply for the Bluetooth adapter. After turning OFF the
power of the receiver, disconnect the Bluetooth adapter and insert the Bluetooth adapter
again, then turn ON the power of the receiver.
If
ADT OVERLOAD
is displayed even though the above operation is repeated several
times, there is a problem with the receiver or the Bluetooth adapter. Disconnect the
power cable and request repair.
Video
Symptom Remedy
No image is output when an input is
selected. Check the video connections of the source component.
For HDMI, or when
V.CONV is set to OFF and a TV and another component are con-
nected with different cords (in Setting the Video options on page 83 ), you must connect
your TV to this receiver using the same type of video cable as you used to connect your
video component. For the component video input, however, signals are only output from
the
HDMI OUT 1 or HDMI OUT 2 terminal, so when using the component video input,
set
V.CONV
to
OFF
.
Make sure the input assignment is correct for components connected using component
video or HDMI cables (see
The Input Setup menu on page 52 ).
Check the video output settings of the source component.
Check that the video input you selected on your TV is correct.
Some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be con-
verted. If adjusting this receiver’s Resolution setting (in
Setting the Video options on
page 83 ) and/or the resolution settings on your component or display doesn’t work, try
switching V.CONV (in Setting the Video options on page 83 ) to OFF .
When the device is connected using an HDMI OUT terminal, press the remote control’s
OUT P. button to check the HDMI OUT output setting. For OUT 3/4 , also check the
MAIN/HDZONE setting at ZONE Setup .
When the HDMI OUT 1/2 setting of the output parameter function is set to OFF , set it to
ON .
If HDZONE is set to on, video images connected using a video cable or component cable
are not output from the HDMI terminal. To output video images, turn HDZONE off (
page
87 ).
Noisy, intermittent, or distorted
picture. Sometimes a video deck may output a noisy video signal (during scanning, for example),
or the video quality may just be poor (with some video game units, for example). The
picture quality may also depend on the settings, etc. of your display device. Switch off
the video converter and reconnect the source and display device using the same type of
connection (component or composite), then start playback again.
Video signals are not output from the
component terminal. When a monitor only compatible with resolutions of 480i is connected to the component
terminal and another monitor is connected to the HDMI terminal, the video signals may
not be output to the monitor connected to the component terminal. If this happens, do
the following:
— Turn off the power of the monitor connected to the HDMI terminal.
— Change the
VIDEO P. menu RES setting (see Setting the Video options on page 83 ).
— Video signals from the HDMI terminal cannot be output to the component terminals.
Input the video signals from the player or other source to the composite or component
terminals. When using the component terminal, assign it at
Input Setup (see The Input
Setup menu on page 52 ).
