Remedy
• Connect the antenna (page 19) and adjust the position for best reception.
• Route any loose cables away from the antenna terminals and wires.
• Fully extend the FM wire antenna, position for best reception, and secure to a wall
(or connect an outdoor FM antenna).
• Connect an additional internal or external AM antenna (page 19).
• Turn off equipment causing interference or move it away from the receiver (or
move antennas farther away from equipment causing noise).
• Connect an outdoor antenna (refer to page 19).
• Move the cassette deck away from your receiver, until the noise disappears.
• Set the SIGNAL SELECT to AUTO, DIGITAL or ANALOG according to the type of
connections made (refer to page 36).
• Set the digital input settings correctly (refer to page 64).
• Make digital connections (refer to page 12) and set the SIGNAL SELECT to DIGITAL
(refer to page 36).
• Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the DVD player.
• Set the digital volume level of the player to full, or to the neutral position.
• Make sure the player's settings are correct and/or the DTS signal out is on. Refer
to the instruction manual supplied with the DVD player.
• Set the input signal type to DIGITAL (see Choosing the input signal on page 36).
• This is not a malfunction, but be sure to turn the volume down to prevent the
output of loud noise from your speakers.
• Check that the positive/negative speaker terminals on the receiver are matched
with the corresponding terminals on the speakers (see Connecting the speakers on
page 20).
• See Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 8 to set up your
system again using MCACC (this will automatically compensate for a delay in the
subwoofer output).
• Low-frequency noise could have been caused by an air conditioner or motor.
Switch off all appliances in the room and rerun the Auto MCACC Setup.
• Replace the batteries (refer to page 6).
• Operate within 7 m, 30° of the remote sensor (refer to page 29).
• Remove the obstacle or operate from another position.
• Avoid exposing the remote sensor on the front panel to direct light.
• VSX-918V model only: Unplug anything connected to the CONTROL IN jack and
use remote normally (see Operating other Pioneer components on page 51).
• Reinsert the SR cable, making sure it's connected to the right jack (see Using this
receiver with a Pioneer flat screen TV on page 62).
• Make sure an analog connection has been made between the units.
• This feature only works with Pioneer products.
• Press DIMMER on the control repeatedly to return to the default.
• When the receiver is in standby, switch to BURST.OFF by holding down
ACOUSTIC EQ (front panel) and pressing
