  The remote control may not work properly for several reasons: * Ensure the remote control is pointed at the remote sensor on the unit. * Make sure the remote control is not too far from the unit. * Check for any obstacles between the remote control and the unit. * Replace the batteries in the remote control if they are exhausted. * If you recently replaced the batteries, the remote’s manufacturer code may have returned to the default setting; in this case, reset the code (page 65).

  The connected HDMI device may not output sound because: * Some HDMI-compatible devices do not output sounds (check the manual that came with the connected device). * If your TV is not capable of handling 96 kHz sampling frequency, set the [Sampling Freq.] option to [48 kHz] on the setup menu. * If your TV is not equipped with Dolby Digital and MPEG decoder, set the [Dolby Digital] and [MPEG] options to [PCM] on the setup menu. * If your TV is not equipped with DTS decoder, set the [DTS] options to [OFF] on the setup menu.
