Remedy
• You can only make a digital recording from a digital source, and an analog recording from an analog
source.
• For digital sources, make sure that what you're recording isn't copy protected.
• Check that the OUT jacks are properly connected to the recorders input jacks (see Connecting analog
audio sources on page 17).
• To route more signal to the subwoofer, set it to PLUS or set the front speakers to SMALL (see Speaker
Setting on page 40).
• The speakers may be out of phase. 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 18).
• If applicable, check that the lowpass filter switch on your subwoofer is off, or the lowpass cutoff is set to
the highest frequency setting. If there is a PHASE setting on your subwoofer, set it to 0º (or depending on
the subwoofer, the setting where you think it has the best overall effect on the sound).
• Make sure the speaker distance setting is correct for all speakers (see Speaker Distance on page 42).
• Check that personal computers or other digital components connected to the same power source are not
causing interference.
• See Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 8 to set up your system again
using MCACC (this will automatically compensate for a delay in the subwoofer output).
• This is not a malfunction. If the levels in Channel Level on page 41 have been adjusted, the maximum
volume will change accordingly.
Remedy
• Check the video connections of the source component (see page 14).
• Make sure the input assignment is correct for components connected using component cables (see The
Input Assign menu on page 55).
• Check the video output settings of the source component.
• Check that the video input you selected on your TV is correct.
• When the source component is connected to this receiver with a component video cable, you must also
connect your TV to this receiver with a component video cable.
• Check that the source is not copy-protected.
• The video converter is not available when making recordings. Check that the same type of video cable is
used for connecting both the recorder and the video source (the one you want to record) to this receiver.
• Sometimes a video deck may output a noisy video signal (during scanning, for example), or the video
quality may just be poor (with some video game units, for example). The picture quality may also depend on
the settings, etc. of your display device. Switch off the video converter and reconnect the source and display
device using the same type of connection (component, S-video or composite), then start playback again.
Remedy
• The ambient noise level may be too high. Keep the noise level in the room as low as possible (see also
Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 10). If the noise level cannot be kept low enough, you
will have to set up the surround sound manually (page 36).
• There may have been some low frequency noise in the room from an air-conditioner, motor, etc. Switch
off all other appliances in the room and use Auto MCACC Setup again.
• Depending on a number of factors (room size, speaker placement, etc.) this may occur in some cases.
You can change the speaker setting manually in Speaker Setting on page 40 if this is a recurring problem.
