Remedy
• The source may be Dolby Surround EX/DTS-ES software, but it has no flag to indicate it is 6.1
compatible. Set to SBch ON (see Using surround back channel processing on page 59), then switch
to the THX Surround EX or Standard EX listening mode (see Listening in surround sound on page 56).
• This will occur when playing DVD-Audio material over the HDMI connection. This is not a
malfunction.
• See the Power section (page 98).
Remedy
• Set a 5-digit preset code corresponding to the receiver to be operated in the remote control (see
Operating multiple receivers on page 73).
• Check whether the receiver's remote control mode is properly set (see Remote Control Mode Setup
on page 96).
• Try replacing the batteries in the remote control (see Loading the batteries on page 9).
• Be sure to operate within 7 m (23 ft.) and a 30º angle of the remote sensor on the front panel (see
Operating range of remote control unit on page 9).
• Check that there are no obstacles between the receiver and the remote control.
• Make sure that there is no fluorescent or other strong light shining on to the remote sensor.
• Check the connections of the CONTROL IN jack (see Operating other Pioneer components with this
unit's sensor on page 35).
• If the battery ran down, the preset codes may have been cleared. Re-enter the preset codes.
• The preset code may be incorrect. Redo the procedure for entering preset codes.
