Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the AV receiver/AV ampli-
fier, look for a solution in this section. If you can't
resolve the issue yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.
If you can't resolve the issue yourself, try resetting
the AV receiver/AV amplifier before contacting your
Onkyo dealer.
