Troubleshooting—Continued
Tuner
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 39).
• 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.
Remote Controller
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 57).
Can't control other components
• Make sure you've selected the correct remote control-
ler mode (page 14).
• If you've connected an
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

• 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 57).

Recording
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 (not North
American model) is selected, recording is not possible
because no video signals are output. Select another lis-
tening mode.
