Can’t record
• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is 
selected.

ler, input signals are not fed through to outputs with 
the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT or 
VCR/DVR IN to VCR/DVR OUT).

video recording is not possible because no video sig-

Others
The AV controller contains a microcomputer for signal 
processing and control functions. In very rare situations, 
severe interference, noise from an external source, or 
static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely 
event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the 
wall outlet, wait at least 5 seconds, and then plug it back 
in again.
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD 
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by 
this unit’s malfunction. Before you record important 
data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor-
rectly.
For North American model, set the AV controller to 
Standby before disconnecting the power cord from the 
wall outlet. For other models, set the AV controller to 
Standby and the POWER switch to OFF before discon-
necting the power cord.
