Remote does not
adjust the volume • Be sure the 1/8 in (3.5 mm) mini-plug is firmly inserted in the SYSTEM CONTROL 2 jack (Model 5 music
center only).
• If you are using an RC-20 or RC-5 remote control, make sure the remote control switch settings are correct.
• If you are using a local volume control (VCA), turn it to the off position.
Volume
suddenly decreases • Lower the volume setting to see if the level returns to normal. If so, the sudden loss of volume was an inten-
tional action of the amplifier’s overload protection feature. This engages automatically if the volume is set
too high and is overdriving the speakers. Choosing a lower setting should ensure continuous, even volume.
Zone 2 does not
work at all • If you are using a Lifestyle ® DVD system, the stereo amplifier will not work unless “Zone 2 Protocol” in
the system settings menu is set to “Legacy”. For more information, consult your Lifestyle ® DVD system’s
owners guide.
