Symptom

Remedy
The Auto Surround Setup
continually shows an error.
• The ambient noise level in the room is too
high.
• Keep the noise level in the room as low as possible
when using the Auto Surround Setup. If the noise cannot
be kept low enough, you will have to set up the surround
sound manually (page 51).
After using the Auto Surround
Setup, the subwoofer distance
setting is set further than the
actual measured distance.
• The low-pass filter found in subwoofers can
introduce a delay in the playback sound.
• This is not a malfunction. The Auto Surround Setup has
compensated for the delay caused by the filter.
After using the Auto Surround
Setup, the speaker size setting
(
LARGE
or
SMALL
) is incorrect.
• There was some inaudible low-frequency
noise in the room.
• The low-frequency noise could have been caused by an
air conditioner or motor. Switch off all appliances in the
room and rerun the Auto Surround Setup.

• The proper code hasn't been input into the
remote control to control that component.
• Input the proper code into the remote control (see
page 61).
• Something is plugged into the
