Troubleshooting—Continued • On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV controller is connected is selected. • If you selected “Both (Main)” or “Both (Sub)” in the “Monitor Out” setting, no picture may appear on your TV that is connected to a secondary HDMI output (not a priority HDMI output). In this case, change the setting to “Both” (page 43). There’s no picture from a source connected to an HDMI IN • Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is not guaranteed.
Troubleshooting—Continued Can’t learn commands from another remote controller • When learning commands, make sure that the transmitting ends of both remote controllers are pointing at each other. • Are you trying to learn from a remote controller that cannot be used for learning? Some commands cannot be learned, especially those that contain several instructions. Recording Can’t record • On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected.
Troubleshooting—Continued The functions don’t work • To use , you must make an connection and an analog audio connection (RCA) between the component and AV controller, even if they are connected digitally (page 38). The functions Auto Power On/Standby and Direct Change don’t work for components connected via . • These functions don’t work when Zone 2 is turned on. When performing “Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup”, the measurement fails showing the message “Ambient noise is too high.”.
