Onkyo TX-SR500E - Manual (Page 39)

When incorrect operation is observed
• The TX-SR500/TX-SR500E contains an internal microcomputer that performs high-level operations. However, on extremely rare
occasions, noise or interference from an external source or static electricity may cause faulty operation. If this occurs, unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet, wait five or more seconds, and then plug it back in. This should correct the situation.
• To reset the surround mode and other settings to the factory default settings, hold down the VIDEO 1 button with the
TX-SR500/TX-SR500E turned on and then press the STANDBY/ON button. “Clear” appears in the front display and the
TX-SR500/TX-SR500E enters the standby state.

antenna (aerial) is incorrect.
• The station is too weak.
• The radio wave is distorted.

[The waves transmitted from the
transmission center (direct waves) and
the waved reflected by buildings or
mountains (diffraction waves) interfere
with each other causing multi pass
distortion.]

or the main power is switched off, for a
long time.
• The sound system you are trying to
record is DTS surround.
• Playback source is not Dolby Digital
encoded.

Remedies
