Maintaining
To clean this receiver, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If
the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth
dipped in a soap and water solution or a weak
detergent solution.
• Never use alcohol, paint thinner, or benzine to
clean this receiver.
• Before using a chemically treated cloth, read the
instructions that came with the cloth carefully.
Troubleshooting
If a problem occurs, run through the following table
before contacting Insignia.
If the problem persists, attempt to solve it by
switching the receiver off and on again. If this fails
to resolve the problem, contact Insignia. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to repair the
receiver yourself as this could void the warranty.
To reset the receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on
and, while holding down VCR/DVR, press ON/
STANDBY. Clear appears on the display and the
receiver enters Standby mode.
To reset the remote control to its factory defaults,
while holding down RECEIVER, press and hold
down AUDIO until the Remote indicator lights
(about three seconds). Within 30 seconds, press
RECEIVER again.
Notes
• The receiver contains a microcomputer for
signal processing and control functions. In rare
situations, severe interference, noise from an
external source, or static electricity may cause it
to lockup. If this happens, unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five
seconds, and then plug it back in again.
• Insignia is not responsible for damages (such as
CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings
caused by the unit’s malfunction.
• Before disconnecting the power cord from the
wall outlet, set the receiver to Standby.
Note that resetting the receiver will delete your radio presets and custom settings.
