Troubleshooting

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with
this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. Investigate the other
components and electrical appliances being used. If the trouble cannot be rectified even after exercising the checks
listed below, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.

• Speakers are turned OFF.

• DIGITAL/ANALOG switch is set

incorrectly.

• The digital inputs are assigned

incorrectly, or not at all.

• Improper connections.

• The input source is not properly

selected.

• Incorrect frequency.
• The antenna is not connected.
•

RF and/or digital cables are near

the antenna terminals and wires.

FM broadcasts

• The FM antenna is not fully

extended or is poorly positioned.

• Weak radio signals.

AM broadcasts

• The AM antenna is poorly

positioned.

• Weak radio signals.

• Interference caused by other

equipment (fluorescent lamp,
motor, etc.).

• Weak radio signals.

• Settings route signal away from

source the 5.1 Channel indicator
doesn't light.

Remedy

• Connect the power plug to the wall

outlet.

• Plug in again. If it still doesn't work

call a service center.

• Disconnect the power plug from the

• Press MUTE on the remote control.
• Adjust MASTER VOLUME.
• Press the TAPE 2 MONITOR button.
• Press SPEAKERS (A/B) to select the

speakers you connected.

• Set SIGNAL SELECT (see p. 47).

• Set the digital input settings correctly

(see p.30).

• Make sure the component is

connected correctly (see p.14-18).

• Press the correct function button.

• Tune in the correct frequency.
• Connect the antenna (see p.18).
• Route

RF and digital cables away

from the antenna terminals and wires.

• Fully extend the FM wire antenna,

position for best reception, and
secure to a wall.

• Connect an outdoor FM antenna (see

p.18).

• Adjust the direction and position for

best reception.

• Connect an additional internal or

external AM antenna (see p.18).

• Turn off the equipment causing the

noise or move it away from the
receiver.

• Place the antenna farther away from

the equipment causing the noise.

• Connect an outdoor antenna (see

p.18).

• To get more signal to the subwoofer

set it to PLUS or choose SMALL for
the FRONT speakers (see p.33-34).

• Set the SIGNAL SELECT to analog

(make sure your LD player is hooked
up with analog connections in
addition to digital and

RF (with RF

demodulater connections, see p. 15).

• There is no problem with the receiver

but if you want 5 channel sound you
must play a 5 channel source.
