mation in the LFE channel, the subwoofer may pro-
duce no sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 102).
The Zone 2/3/4 speakers produce no sound
• The Zone 2/3/4 speakers only output sources that are
connected to an analog input. Check to see if the
source component is connected to an analog input.
• Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if “Passive Sub-
woofer” is set to “Use” (pages 54 and 137).

“Powered Zone3” is set to “Not Act” (page 141).
There’s no sound with a certain signal format
• Check the digital audio output setting on the con-
nected device. On some game consoles, such as those
that support DVD, the default setting is off.

audio output format from a menu.
• Depending on the input signal, some listening modes
cannot be selected (pages 89 to 95).

adjusted to high positive values (page 103), then the
maximum master volume possible may be reduced.
Note that the individual speaker volume levels are set
automatically after Audyssey MultEQ
®
XT Room
Correction and Speaker Setup has been completed
(page 59).
Noise can be heard

cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the
audio performance, so don’t do it.
