Possible cause
You're too far away from the transmitter. Or,
your FM antenna is in the wrong position or
pointing in the wrong direction. Or, the sta-
tion's signal strength is poor.
Interference is being caused by fluorescent
lights being turned on or off or by passing
cars.
Interference caused by electrical equipment,
including fluorescent lights.
Interference caused by your TV.
The power cord has not been connected to a
wall outlet, or the power has been turned off
for an extended period.
From the VIDEO 1 OUT, you're trying to
record the signal being fed into the VIDEO
1 IN, or from the TAPE OUT, you're trying
to record the signal being fed into the TAPE
IN.
You're playing Dolby Digital or DTS source
material.
You cannot record from an AV component
that is connected digitally.
The wrong input source is selected on your
recorder.
This is normal. The surround-sound effects
produced by the listening modes cannot be
recorded.
The Late Night function only works with
Dolby Digital.
The multichannel input is not selected.
The AV component is not properly con-
nected.
This is normal. When you connect a pair of
headphones, the Stereo listening mode is
selected automatically.
Remedy
Use the [TUNING MODE] button to select
Manual Tuning mode, and tune the station in
mono (page 34).
Adjust the position, height, and direction of
your FM antenna.
Install an outdoor FM antenna, preferably
one with many elements. Installing an out-
door antenna is a specialist job, so contact
your nearest dealer for advice (page 19).
Install an outdoor antenna as far away as
possible from nearby roads.
Adjust the position or direction of your out-
door antenna.
Move your antenna as far away as possible
from fluorescent lights.
Relocate your AM antenna.
Install an outdoor AM antenna (page 19).
Move the AM loop antenna as far away as
possible from your TV.
Move the HT-R520 as far away as possible
from your TV.
Preset your favorite radio stations again
(page 35). The power cord must be plugged
into a wall outlet a few times each month in
order to preserve the presets.
To prevent signal loops and damage to the
HT-R520, input signals are not fed through
to outputs with the same name (e.g., TAPE
IN/OUT or VIDEO 1 IN/OUT).
Although you cannot record Dolby Digital
or DTS surround channels, you can record
the left and right channels by connecting the
source AV component's analog left and right
outputs to a pair of analog inputs on the
HT-R520.
Select the correct input source. See your
recorder's manual for more information.
" DIGITAL" appears on the display when
using a Dolby Digital source.
Press the [MULTI CH] button to select the
multichannel input (page 33).
Connect the AV component's 5.1-channel
outputs to the HT-R520's DVD IN FRONT,
SURR, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER sock-
ets (page 24).
