Techno Tidbits and Problem-solving
Remedy
• To get more signal to the subwoofer
set it to PLUS or choose SMALL for the
front speakers (see page 39).
• Set the speaker to YES.
• Check the MULTI CH IN connection
(see page 21) and select the type of
playback with the MULTI CH IN button
(see page 53).
• Tune in the correct frequency.
• Connect the antenna (see page 24).
• Route digital cables away from the
antenna terminals and wires.
• Adjust the direction and position for
best reception.
• Turn off the equipment causing the
noise or move it away from the
receiver.
• Place the antenna farther away from
the equipment causing the noise.
• Connect an outdoor AM or FM
antenna (see page 24).
• Check that personal computers or
other digital components connected to
the same power source are not caus-
ing interference.
• This is not a malfunction, but be sure
to turn the volume down to prevent the
output of loud noise from your speak-
ers.
• Set the SIGNAL SELECT to DIGITAL
(see page 44).
• You can only record analog to analog,
or digital to digital. Make sure the play-
back and recording components are
hooked up with the same kind of con-
nections.
• You can't record digital sources that
have been copy protected.
• Check connections (see pages 20 and
22).
