SMALL, and the surround speakers are not set to NO (see Speaker 
Setting on page 62 ).
Check the speaker connections (see Connecting the speakers on

The crossover frequency may be set too low; try setting it higher 
to match the characteristics of your other speakers (see Speaker

rial, change your speaker settings to Front: SMALL / Subwoofer: 
YES, or Front: LARGE / Subwoofer: PLUS (see Speaker Setting on 
page 62 ).

Sound is produced from analog compo-
nents, but not from digital ones (DVD, LD, 
CD, etc.).

Other audio problems
Symptom Remedy
Speaker switching sound (clicking sound) 
is heard from receiver during playback.
Depending on the listening mode, the front height (or front wide) 
and surround back speakers may switch automatically in function 
of changes in the input audio. A speaker switching sound (clicking 
sound) will be heard from the receiver at this time. If this sound 
bothers you, we recommend to change the speaker terminal 
option (see Switching the speaker terminals on page 47 ).
Broadcast stations cannot be selected 
automatically, or there is considerable 
noise in radio broadcasts.
Fully extend the FM wire antenna, adjust the position for best 
reception and secure to a wall, etc.
Use an outdoor antenna for better reception (see page 19).
Adjust the position and direction of the AM antenna.
Noise may be caused by interference from other equipment, such 
as a fluorescent light, motor, etc. Switch off or move the other 
equipment, or move the AM antenna.
