Remedy
• You have set [PROGRESSIVE (COMPONENT OUT)] in [VIDEO SETUP] to
[ON] (page 91) even though your TV cannot accept the progressive signal. In
this case, set to [OFF].
• The disc is dirty or flawed.
• If the picture output from your system goes through your VCR to get to your
TV, the copy-protection signal applied to some DVD programs could affect
picture quality. If you still experience problems even when you connect your
control unit directly to your TV, try connecting your control unit to your TV's
video input (page 21).
• The aspect ratio on the disc is fixed.
The front speakers in this system are magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic
leakage. However, some leakage may occur, as a high-strength magnet is
employed. If this happens, check the following items:
• If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers
at least 0.3 meters from the TV set.
• If the color irregularity persists, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15
to 30 minutes.
• If howling occurs, reposition the speakers farther away from the TV set.
• Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch on a TV stand, health care
device, toy, etc.) is placed near the speakers.
Remedy
• The speaker cord is not connected securely.
• Press MUTING on the remote if "MUTING" is displayed in the front panel
display.
• The system is in pause mode or in Slow-motion Play mode. Press H to return
to normal play mode.
• Fast forward or fast reverse is performed. Press H to return to normal play
mode.
• Check the speaker settings (page 95).
• The component connected to the HDMI OUT jack does not conform to the
audio signal format, in this case set [AUDIO (HDMI)] in [HDMI SETUP] to
[ON] (page 93).
• Set [AUDIO (HDMI)] in [HDMI SETUP] to [ON] (page 93).
• The HDMI OUT jack is connected to a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) device
(DVI (Digital Visual Interface) jacks do not accept audio signals).
• Try the following: 1 Turn the system off and on again. 2 Turn the connected
component off and on again. 3 Disconnect and then connect the HDMI cable
again.
• Check that the speakers and components are connected correctly and securely.
