Troubleshooting

—Continued

Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers
from hiss, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t
appear

• Relocate your antenna.
• Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com-

puter.

Listen to the station in mono (page 38).
• When listening to an AM station, operating the remote

controller may cause noise.

• Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.
• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.
• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor

antenna.

The remote controller doesn’t work

• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor-

rect polarity (page 13).

• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far

away from the AV receiver, and that there’s no
obstruction between the remote controller and the AV
receiver’s remote control sensor (page 13).

• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-

ler mode (page 14).

• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control

code (page 58).

Can’t control other components

• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control-

ler mode (page 14).

• If you’ve connected an

-capable Onkyo MD

recorder, CD recorder, or next generation HDD-com-
patible component to the TAPE IN/OUT jacks, or a
DS-A1 Remote Interactive Dock to the VIDEO 2 IN
jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you
must set the Input Display to MD, CDR, or HDD (see
page 35).

• The entered remote control code may not be correct. If

more than one code is listed, try each one.

• With some AV components, certain buttons may not

work as expected, and some may not work at all.

• To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via

, point the remote controller at the AV receiver. Be

sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first
(see page 59).

• To control an Onkyo component that’s not connected

via

, or another manufacturer’s component, point

the remote controller at the component. Be sure to
enter the appropriate remote control code first (see
page 58).

Can’t record

• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is

selected.

• To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV

receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs
with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT, or
VIDEO 1 IN to VIDEO 1 OUT).

• When the Pure Audio listening mode is selected,

recording is not possible because no video signals are
output. Select another listening mode.

The sound changes when I connect my head-
phones

• When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening

mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo,
Mono, Direct, or Pure Audio (not North American
model).

The display doesn’t work

• The display is turned off when the Pure Audio (not

North American model) listening mode is selected.

How do I change the language of a multiplex
source

• Use the “Multiplex” setting on the “4. Audio Adjust”

menu to select Main or Sub (page 51).

The

functions don’t work

• To use

, you must make an

connection and an

analog audio connection (RCA) between the compo-
nent and AV receiver, even if they are connected digi-
tally (page 33).
