Poor FM Reception
The antenna may be incorrectly attached.
Station not correctly tuned in, weak or off the air.
You can improve reception by using external antennas. Some cable TV feeds also offer FM
reception.
Input Selection Problems
If you find that certain inputs cannot be selected, Check the INPUTS menu of the OSD (page
53), and make sure that the input has not been disabled in that particular Zone.
There is No TV Picture
Make sure that the video input of your TV monitor is connected to the Main monitor output on
the DMC-1 rear panel.
Check that your Monitor is selecting its correct video input.
Check the video connection from your selected source component into the DMC-1.
Make sure that you are using the correct video connections. If in doubt, try connecting the
video output from your source directly to your TV monitor. This will help you narrow down the
problem.
Use only one type of Component Video, S-Video, or Composite Video connection on a given
input.. If more than one are present at the same time, the DMC-1 will choose higher quality
format and the S-Video and the Composite Video output will be off in this case.
No Tone Control Functions
Remember that the tone controls are non-functioning whenever the DMC-1 is using the 8-CH
input, Source Direct mode, or in Zone 2.
No Dolby Digital or DTS Playback
See pages 65-66
Look for the Dolby Digital or DTS Logo on the source program's box or sleeve. Make sure
your player's digital output is set to BITSTREAM for Dolby Digital or DTS. This is often a
player's setup menu item, not the disc's menu. Some discs are available with a number of
different options, such as Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic. Make sure that you have selected
the correct mode from your player's menu. Only digital inputs will work for these modes.
Check that your player's digital output is connected to the appropriate corresponding digital
input on your DMC-1.
There is no AC-3 RF input connection for Laserdisc players. You will need an external RF
demodulator.
Check the calibration procedure from time to time. This is an excellent way of checking that all
speakers are working correctly.
