Settings

Subwoofer output is very low.

• To route more signal to the subwoofer, set it to

PLUS

or set the front speakers to

SMALL

(see

Speaker

Setting

on page 37).

Everything seems to be set up
correctly, but the playback sound
is odd.

• The speakers may be out of phase. Check that the positive/negative speaker terminals on the receiver are
matched with the corresponding terminals on the speakers (see

Connecting the speakers

on page 17).

The

PHASE CONTROL

feature

doesn’t seem to have an audible
effect.

• If applicable, check that the lowpass filter switch on your subwoofer is off, or the lowpass cutoff is set to
the highest frequency setting. If there is a

PHASE

setting on your subwoofer, set it to 0º (or depending on

the subwoofer, the setting where you think it has the best overall effect on the sound).
• Make sure the speaker distance setting is correct for all speakers (see

Speaker Distance

on page 39).

Noise or hum can be heard even
when there is no sound being
input.

• Check that personal computers or other digital components connected to the same power source are not
causing interference.

There seems to be a time lag
between the speakers and the
output of the subwoofer.

• See

Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC)

on page 8 to set up your system again using

MCACC (this will automatically compensate for a delay in the subwoofer output).

The maximum volume available
(shown in the front panel display)
is lower than the

+12 dB

maximum.

• This is not a malfunction. If the levels in

Channel Level

on page 38 have been adjusted, the maximum

volume will change accordingly.

Symptom

Remedy

Symptom

Remedy

No image is output when an
input is selected.

• Check the video connections of the source component (see page 14).
• Make sure the input assignment is correct for components connected using component cables (see

The

Input Assign menu

on page 46).

• A separate video source has been selected using

VIDEO SELECT

(see

Watching video and audio sources

independently

on page 49).

• Check the video output settings of the source component.
• Check that the video input you selected on your TV is correct.

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, intermittant, 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, S-video or composite), then start playback again.

Symptom

Remedy

The Auto MCACC Setup
continually shows an error.

• The ambient noise level may be too high. Keep the noise level in the room as low as possible (see also

Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup

on page 10). If the noise level cannot be kept low enough, you

will have to set up the surround sound manually (page 34).

After using the Auto MCACC
Setup, the speaker size setting is
incorrect.

• There may have been some low frequency noise in the room from an air-conditioner, motor, etc. Switch
off all other appliances in the room and use Auto MCACC Setup again.
• Depending on a number of factors (room size, speaker placement, etc.) this may occur in some cases.
You can change the speaker setting manually in

Speaker Setting

on page 37 if this is a recurring problem.

Can’t adjust the Fine Speaker
Distance setting (page 35)
properly.

• Check that the speakers are all in phase (make sure the positive (

+

) and negative (

) terminals are

matched up properly).

Most recent settings have been
erased.

• The power cord was disconnected from the wall while adjusting this setting.
