Troubleshooting
If you have any trouble using the AV controller, look for
a solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue
yourself, contact the dealer from whom you purchased
this unit.
Can’t turn on the AV controller
• Make sure that the power cord is plugged into the wall
outlet properly.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5
seconds or more, then plug it back in again.
There’s no sound or it’s very quiet
• Make sure that your multichannel power amplifer is
turned on and set up correctly and connected to the AV
controller properly (page 21).
• Make sure that the digital input is assigned to the input
selector (page 51).
• Make sure that the correct audio input is selected
(page 84).
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed
in all the way (page 28).
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is
correct, and that the bare wire is in contact with the
metal part of each speaker terminal.
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.
• Check the volume (page 61). The AV controller is
designed for home theater enjoyment and has a wide
volume range for precise adjustment.

press the remote controller’s [Muting] button to
unmute the AV controller (page 82).

jack, no sound is output by the main room speakers
(page 83).

component. On some game consoles, such as those
that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.
•With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an
audio format from a menu or with the AUDIO button
on your DVD player’s remote controller.
• If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must use
an MC head amp or MC transformer (page 41).
• Check the speaker settings (pages 99–104).
• If the digital signal format is set to PCM or DTS, set it
to Auto (page 84).

HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output settings,
and be sure to select a compatible audio format.
