Precautions On safety Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not place the receiver near equipment such as a television, VCR, or tape deck. (If the receiver is being used in combination with a television, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too close to that equipment, noise may result, and picture quality may suffer. This is especially likely when using an indoor antenna (aerial). Therefore, we recommend using an outdoor antenna (aerial).) On operation Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off and unplug the receiver.
There is no sound from one of the front speakers. • Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack to verify that sound is output from the headphones. If only one channel is output from the headphones, the component may not be connected to the receiver correctly. Check that all the cords are fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component. If both channels are output from the headphones, the front speaker may not be connected to the receiver correctly.
• Adjust the speaker level (page 74). • Make sure the center/surround speaker (s) is (are) set to either “SMALL” or “LARGE” (page 74). There is no sound from the surround back speakers. • Some discs have no Dolby Digital Surround EX flag even though the packages have Dolby Digital Surround EX logos. In this case, select “ON” in the “SB Dec Mode” (page 71). There is no sound from the sub woofer. • Check that the sub woofer is connected correctly and securely. • Make sure you have turned on your speaker.

Input 480i component video signals. • When component input signals other than 480p are output, use the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jack and set “Resolution” to “DIRECT.” Images of the source with HDMI connection is not output to the TV. • Make sure that cables are correctly and securely connected to components. • Depending on the playback component, component may need to be set up. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the each component.
Remote control The remote does not function. • Point the remote at the remote sensor on the receiver. • Remove any obstacles in the path between the remote and the receiver. • Replace all the batteries in the remote with new ones, if they are weak. • Make sure that the command modes of the receiver and the remote are the same. If the command mode of the receiver and the remote are different, you cannot operate the receiver with the remote (page 40). • Make sure you select the correct input on the remote.
