Techno Tidbits & Problem-solving
Symptom
No sound from surround or center
speakers.
Sound is produced from some
components, but not from digital
components.
No sound is output or a noise is
output when software with DTS is
played back.
The sound is output intermittently
when software with DTS is played
back. The overload indicator is lit.
When a search is performed by a
DTS compatible CD player during

Cause
• Speaker settings are incorrect.
• The rear and/or center levels are
turned down.
• The surround and/or center
speakers are disconnected.
• SIGNAL SELECT is set incorrectly.
• The digital inputs are assigned
incorrectly, or not at all.
• SIGNAL SELECT is set to
“ANALOG”.
• A DVD player not compatible with
DTS is used, or the setting of the
DVD player is incorrect.
• The digital output level has been
turned down on a CD player or
other component equipped with
digital output level adjustment
capability. (The DTS signal has
been altered by the player, and
cannot be read.)
• Disc being played back has a huge
amount of information on it.
• The search function performed by
the player interferes with the
reading of digital information.
• The remote control batteries have
worn out.
• Too far away or bad angle of
operation.
• There is an obstacle between the
receiver and the remote control.
• Strong light such as fluorescent
light is shining onto the unit’s
remote control signal light-receiving
window.
• A cord is connected to the
CONTROL IN terminal on this unit.
• The IR -Receiver type is
mismatched with the setting.
• The FL DIMMER button is pushed.
Remedy
• See “speaker setting” on p.26 to
check the speaker settings.
• See “channel level” p.29 to check
the speaker levels.
• Connect the speakers (see p.14).
• Set SIGNAL SELECT to “DIGITAL”
or “ANALOG” according to the
type of connections made (see p.
40).
• Set the digital input settings
correctly (see p.10, 34).
• Make digital connections (see p.10)
and set SIGNAL SELECT to
“DIGITAL” (see p.40).
• Refer to the instruction manual
supplied with the DVD player.
• Set the digital volume level of the
player to full, or to the neutral
position.
• Use the STANDAD mode to get
the best results (see memo, p.38).
• This is not a malfunction, but be
sure to turn the volume down to
prevent the output of loud noise
from your speakers.
• Replace the batteries (see p.7).
• Operate within 7 m (23 feet), 30°
of the remote sensor on the front
panel (see p.7).
• Remove the obstacle or operate
from another position.
• Avoid exposing the remote sensor
on the front panel to direct light.
• Connect cord to the correct jack.
• Disconnect the IR Receiver from
the rear panel, and set to the other
IR Receiver type (see p.73).
• Press FL DIMMER on the front
panel repeatedly to return to the
default setting (see p.45).
If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity
Disconnect the power plug from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions.
