TROUBLESHOOTING Refer to the chart below when this system does not function properly. If the problem you are having is not listed below or if the instruction below does not help, set this system to the standby mode, disconnect the power cord, and contact the nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center. ■ General Problem Cause Remedy Refer to page The power cord is not connected or the plug is not completely inserted. Firmly connect the power cord.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem No sound from the center speaker. Cause Remedy The output level of the center speaker is set to minimum. Raise the level of the center speaker. 40 “1A CENTER” on the SET MENU is set to NON. Select the appropriate mode for your center speaker. 36 One of the Hi-Fi DSP programs (1 to 4) has been selected (except for 5ch Stereo). Select another DSP program. The source encoded with a Dolby Digital or DTS signal does not have a center channel signal.
TROUBLESHOOTING ■ Tuner Problem FM/ AM FM Remedy Refer to page Previously preset stations cannot be tuned in. The preset stations are cleared. Pre-set the stations once again. 28 FM stereo reception is noisy. The characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts may cause this problem when the transmitter is too far away or the antenna input is poor. Check the antenna connections. Try using a high-quality directional FM antenna. 14 Use the manual tuning method.
GLOSSARY Bitstream LFE 0.1 channel This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (eg., 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels. This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals. The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a low frequency range compared to the full-range reproduced by the other 5 channels in a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel systems.
