Notes: • The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded. • Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded. • Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded. • DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.
Using the Listening Modes Selecting Listening Modes Selecting with the Remote Controller See “About the Listening Modes” on page 89 for detailed information about the listening modes. • The Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can only be selected if your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver with a digital audio connection (coaxial, optical, or HDMI). • The listening modes you can select depend on the format of the input signal. To check the format, see “Displaying Source Information” on page 68.

Troubleshooting If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the AV receiver before contacting your Onkyo dealer. To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VCR/DVR] button, press the [ON/STANDBY] button. “Clear” will appear on the display and the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.
Troubleshooting—Continued The surround speakers produce no sound • When the DTS Surround Sensation, T-D (TheaterDimensional), Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound. • Depending on the source and current listening mode, not much sound may be produced by the surround speakers. Try selecting another listening mode. • Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 95).
Troubleshooting—Continued • With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.
Troubleshooting—Continued Remote Controller The remote controller doesn’t work • Make sure that the batteries are installed with the correct polarity (page 14). • Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of batteries, or old and new batteries (page 14). • 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 14).
Troubleshooting—Continued Recording Can’t record • On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected. • To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT or VCR/DVR IN to VCR/DVR OUT). • When the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, recording is not possible because no video signals are output. Select another listening mode.
Troubleshooting—Continued The following settings can be made for the SVideo, composite video and COMPONENT VIDEO inputs You must use the buttons on the AV receiver to make these settings. 1. While holding down the input selector button for the input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP] button. 2. Use the Left and Right [e]/[r] buttons to change the setting. 3. Press the input selector button for the input source that you want to set when you’ve finished.
