ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Troubleshooting ■ General Problem The power cable is not connected or the plug is not completely inserted. Connect the power cable firmly. — The speaker impedance setting is incorrect. Set the speaker impedance to match your speakers. 40 The protection circuitry has been activated. Make sure that all speaker wire connections on this unit and on all speakers are secure and that the wire for each connection does not touch anything other than its respective connection.
Troubleshooting Problem Cause Remedy See page Sound is heard from the speaker on one side only. Incorrect cable connections. Connect the cables properly. If the problem persists, the cables may be defective. Incorrect settings in “SP LEVEL.” Adjust the “SP LEVEL” settings. 33 Only the center speaker outputs substantial sound. When playing a monaural source with a CINEMA DSP program, the source signal is directed to the center channel, and the front and surround speakers output effect sounds.
Troubleshooting This unit does not operate properly. The internal microcomputer has been frozen by an external electric shock (such as lightning or excessive static electricity) or by a power supply with low voltage. Disconnect the power cable from the AC wall outlet and then plug it in again after about 30 seconds. — “CHECK SP WIRES” appears on the front panel display. Speaker cables are short-circuited. Make sure all speaker cables are connected correctly.
Troubleshooting Problem AM ■ Cause The desired station cannot be tuned into with the automatic tuning method. The signal is weak or the antenna connections are loose. There are continuous crackling and hissing noises. There are buzzing and whining noises. Remedy See page Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and orient it for the best reception. — Use the manual tuning method. 27 Noises result from lightning, fluorescent lamps, motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment.
Troubleshooting ■ Remote control Problem Remedy See page The remote control functions within a maximum range of 6 m (20 ft) and no more than 30 degrees offaxis from the front panel. 8 Direct sunlight or lighting (from an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of this unit. Reposition this unit. — The batteries are weak. Replace all batteries. 8 The remote control code is not correctly set.
