Troubleshooting—Continued
There’s no picture from a source connected to 
an HDMI IN
• Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is 
not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC 
are not supported (page 23).
• If the message “Resolution Error” appears on the AV 
receiver’s display, this indicates that your TV does not 
support the current video resolution and you need to 
select another resolution on your DVD/BD player.
The onscreen menus don’t appear
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which 
the AV receiver is connected is selected.
The immediate display does not appear
• Depending on the input signal, the immediate display 
may not appear when the input signal from the HDMI 
IN is output to a device connected to the HDMI OUT.
Reception is noisy, FM stereo reception is noisy, 
or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t appear
• Relocate your antenna.
•
Move the AV receiver away from your TV or computer.
• Listen to the station in mono (page 53).
• When listening to an AM station, operating the remote 
controller may cause noise.
• Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.
• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.
• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor 
antenna.
The remote controller doesn’t work
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor-
rect polarity (page 12).
• Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of bat-
teries, or old and new batteries (page 12).
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far 
away from the AV receiver, and that there’s no 
obstruction between the remote controller and the AV 
receiver’s remote control sensor (page 12).
• Make sure that the AV receiver is not subjected to 
direct sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights. 
Relocate if necessary.
• If the AV receiver is installed in a rack or cabinet with 
colored-glass doors, the remote controller may not 
work reliably when the doors are closed. 
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-
ler mode (pages 13 and 90-96).
• When using the remote controller to control other 
manufacturers’ AV components, some buttons may 
not work as expected.
• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control 
code (page 88).
• Make sure to set the same ID on both the AV receiver 
and remote controller (page 78).
Can’t control other components
• If it’s an Onkyo component, make sure that the u 
cable and analog audio cable are connected properly. 
Connecting only an u cable won’t work (page 36).
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-
ler mode (pages 13 and 90–96).
• If you’ve connected an u-capable Onkyo RI Dock to 
the TV/TAPE IN, GAME IN or VCR/DVR IN jacks, 
for the remote controller to work properly, you must 
set the display to DOCK (page 44).
If you cannot operate it, you will need to enter the 
appropriate remote control code (page 88).
• To control another manufacturer’s component, point 
the remote controller at that component.
• To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via 
u
, 
point the remote controller at the AV receiver. Be sure to 
enter the appropriate remote control code first (page 89).
• To control an Onkyo component that’s not connected 
via 
u
, or another manufacturer’s component, point 
the remote controller at the component. Be sure to enter 
the appropriate remote control code first (page 88).
• The entered remote control code may not be correct. If 
more than one code is listed, try each one.

Apple logo.
• Make sure you’ve selected the right remote mode.
• When you use the AV receiver’s remote controller,
