First, check the following: 1 The power cables of the center unit, subwoofer, TV and playback devices (such as BD/DVD players) are connected to AC wall outlet securely.
Problem Cause Remedy All indicators go out although the unit is turned on (it may seem that the unit is turned off). The unit is configured so that indicators do not glow or flash unless the unit is being operated. Use the DIMMER key to select the desired brightness (p. 29). The unit does not function correctly. The internal microcomputer is frozen, due to an external electric shock (such as lightning or excessive static electricity) or to a drop in the power supply voltage.
Audio Problem No sound. Cause Another input source is selected. Remedy Select an appropriate input source (p. 26). The mute function is activated. Cancel the mute function (p. 28). The volume is too low. Turn up the volume (p. 28). The power cable of the center unit is not connected properly. Make sure that the power cable of the center unit is connected to an AC wall outlet securely (p. 24). Input jacks on a playback device are connected.
Problem Cause No sound is coming from the subwoofer. (The indicator on the subwoofer flashes or the STANDBY indicator on the subwoofer glows.) The center unit and subwoofer are not connected due to a bad wireless communication status. Remedy Move the subwoofer closer to the center unit. If the issue is not resolved, move the subwoofer to a location that supports better communication (one in which the indicator glows).
Problem No surround effect. Cause Stereo playback is selected. Remedy Select surround playback or 3D surround playback (p. 27). The volume is too low. Turn up the volume (p. 28). The TV or playback device is set to output 2 channel audio (such as PCM) only. Change the digital audio output setting on the TV or playback device to BitStream. Sound is also heard from the TV built-in speakers. Set the TV volume to minimum (p. 30). The listening position is too close to the unit.
Bluetooth Problem The unit cannot be connected to a Bluetooth device. No sound can be heard, or the sound cuts off intermittently. Cause Remedy Bluetooth is not selected as the input source. Select Bluetooth as the input source (p. 31). The unit is connected to a different Bluetooth device.
