Remedy
• 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 58).
• 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 (MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) on page 12 to set up
your system again using MCACC (this will automatically compensate for a delay in the subwoofer output).
• Make sure that HDMI Control is set to OFF (see Setting the HDMI Control mode on page 99).
• This is not a malfunction. If the levels in Channel Level on page 57 have been adjusted, the maximum
volume will change accordingly.
• Make sure that ZONE 3 / RECSEL Setting in the ZONE Audio Setup menu is set to RECSEL (see ZONE
Audio Setup on page 104).
• Make sure that ZONE 3 / RECSEL Setting in the ZONE Audio Setup menu is set to ZONE 3 (see ZONE
Audio Setup on page 104).
Remedy
• Check the video connections of the source component (see page 24).
• For HDMI, or when digital video conversion is switched off (in Setting the Video options on page 108), you
must connect your TV to this receiver using the same type of video cable as you used to connect your video
component.
• Make sure the input assignment is correct for components connected using component video, HDMI or
S-Video cables (see The Input Setup menu on page 101).
• Check the video output settings of the source component.
• Check that the video input you selected on your TV is correct.
• Some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. If adjusting
this receiver's Resolution setting (in Setting the Video options on page 108) and/or the resolution settings on
your component or display doesn't work, try switching Digital Video Conversion (in Setting the Video options
on page 108) OFF.
• 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.
• Conversion is not possible when the video input signal is a component signal. Either use the composite
or S-Video terminal, or connect to the TV using a component cable.
• Turn the video convert function off and connect the source component and monitor with the same type
of cord.
• The external video will not be displayed properly in the following conditions. Press the LCD VIEW button
to switch to the OSD mode.
– With HDMI inputs.
– When the video converter is off.
– When the resolution is set to PURE.
– When no external image is being input.
– When a non-compatible signal is being input.
