Cause
• Speaker settings are incorrect.
• The rear and/or center levels are
turned down.
• The surround and/or center
speakers are disconnected.
• SIGNAL SELECT is set incorrectly.
• The digital inputs are assigned
incorrectly, or not at all.
• SIGNAL SELECT is set to
"ANALOG".
• A DVD player not compatible with
DTS is used, or the setting of the
DVD player is incorrect.
• The digital output level has been
turned down on a CD player or
other component equipped with
digital output level adjustment
capability. (The DTS signal has been
altered by the player, and cannot be
read.)
• The speakers are turned OFF.
• Disc being played back has a huge
amount of information on it.
• The search function performed by
the player interferes with the
reading of digital information.
• The remote control batteries have
worn out.
• Too far away or bad angle of
operation.
• There is an obstacle between the
receiver and the remote control.
• Strong light such as fluorescent
light is shining onto the unit's
remote control signal light-receiving
window.
• A cord is connected to the
CONTROL IN terminal on this unit.
•The FL DIMMER button is pushed.
• If you are using an analog source,
the signal is too strong.
• If you are using a digital source,
there is too much information for
the receiver to handle.
• The SIGNAL SELECT is on
ANALOG.
Remedy

check the speaker settings.

player to full, or to the neutral
position.

to turn the volume down to prevent
the output of loud noise from your
speakers.

• Operate within 23 ft (7 m), 30° of the
remote sensor on the front panel (see
p.11).
• Remove the obstacle or operate from
another position.
