• The unit is connected to an input device that is not
HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content
protection) compliant (“HDMI” on the front panel
does not light up). See page 97.

changing the type of video signal output from the
HDMI OUT jack by pressing VIDEO FORMAT
may solve the problem (page 27).
Connect the TV and the unit using a video jack
other than the HDMI OUT, and switch the TV’s
input to the connected video input so that you can
see the on-screen displays. Change the type of
video signal output from the HDMI OUT jack,
and switch the TV’s input back to HDMI. If the
picture still does not appear, repeat the steps and
try other options.

HDMI cord from the unit and then select
“INTERLACE” so that “PROGRE” turns off.

• If the picture output from your system goes
through your VCR to get to your TV, the copy-
protection signal applied to some DVD programs
could affect picture quality. If you still experience
problems even when you connect your unit
directly to your TV, try connecting your unit to
your TV’s S video input (page 26).

Color irregularity occurs on the TV screen.
The subwoofer and the front speakers in this system
are magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic
leakage. However, some leakage may occur, as a
high-strength magnet is employed. If this happens,
check the following items:
• If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or
projector, install the speakers at least 0.3 meters
(1.0 ft) from the TV set.
• If the color irregularity persists, turn off the TV set
once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.
• If howling occurs, reposition the speakers farther
away from the TV set.
• Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch
on a TV stand, health care device, toy, etc.) is
placed near the speakers.
