Remedy
This is not a malfunction of the receiver. The scan function of your
player alters the digital information, making it unreadable, result-
ing in noise being output. Lower the volume when scanning.
Make sure that the input signal type is set to DIGITAL (see Choos-
ing the input signal on page 36 ).
You can only make a digital recording from a digital source, and an
analog recording from an analog source.
For digital sources, make sure that what you're recording isn't
copy protected.
To route more signal to the subwoofer, set it to PLUS or set the
front speakers to SMALL (see Speaker Setting on page 64 ).
The speakers may be out of phase. Check that the positive/negative
speaker terminals on the receiver are matched with the corre-
sponding terminals on the speakers (see Connecting the speakers
on page 13 ).
If applicable, check that the lowpass filter switch on your sub-
woofer 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 65 ).
Check that personal computers or other digital components con-
nected to the same power source are not causing interference.
Check the Input Skip settings in the Input Setup menu (see The
Input Setup menu on page 25 ).
Check the HDMI Input assignment in the Input Setup menu then
try OFF (see The Input Setup menu on page 25 ).
See Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto
MCACC) on page 24 to set up your system again using MCACC
(this will automatically compensate for a delay in the subwoofer
output).
Check that the Volume Limit is set to OFF (see Volume Setup on
page 68 ).
The channel level setting may be over 0.0dB.

For HDMI, or when digital video conversion is set to OFF and a TV
and another component are connected with different cords (in
Setting the Video options on page 48 ), 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 con-
nected using component video or HDMI cables (see The Input
Setup menu on page 25 ).
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 Resolu-
tion setting (in Setting the Video options on page 48 ) 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 48 ) to OFF.
