Page 57: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting If you have any trouble using your DV-SP501, check the following table for possible causes and remedies. If you still can’t resolve the issue yourself, please contact your Onkyo dealer. Symptoms The power cord is not connected. The [POWER] switch is set to OFF. - Page 58 DTS audio is only output by the digital outputs. To play DTS material you need to connect one of the DV-SP501’s digital outputs to a digital input on a hi-fi amp or AV receiver that has a DTS decoder built-in (page 21).
- Page 59 The DV-SP501 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 even that this should happen, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.
