(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 104
).
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 47
).
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 9
).
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

).
ADAPTER PORT terminal
Symptoms
Remedies
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 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 supports
A2DP profile and AVRCP profile.
The Air Jam function cannot be
used.
Disconnect the iPod from this receiver (see
Air Jam
on
page 57
).
Video
Symptoms
Remedies
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 77
), 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
ON
.
Make sure the input assignment is correct for components connected using component
video or HDMI cables (see
The Input Setup menu
on
page 46
).
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
77
) and/or the resolution settings on your component or display doesn’t work, try switch-
ing
V.CONV
(in
Setting the Video options
on
page 77
) to
OFF
.
When the device is connected using an
HDMI OUT
terminal, press the remote control’s
HDMI OUT
button to check the
HDMI OUT
output setting. For
OUT 3
, also check the
MAIN/HDZONE
setting at
ZONE Setup
.
Can’t record video.
Check that the source is not copy-protected.
The video converter is not available when making recordings. Check that the same type
of video cable is used for connecting both the recorder and the video source (the one you
want to record) to this receiver.
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 PARAMETER
menu
RES
setting (see
Setting the Video options
on
page 77
).
— 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 46
).
The picture’s movement is unnatural. When Resolution under
VIDEO PARAMETER
is set to 1080/24p, the picture may not be
displayed properly for some source materials. In this case, set the resolution to some-
thing other than 1080/24p (
page 77
).
