Can’t select some Input 
functions by the INPUT 
SELECTOR
 on the front panel 
or the INPUT SELECT button on 
the remote control.
• Make sure that the Input Skip settings in the INPUT SETUP menu.
• Make sure that the HDMI Input assign in the INPUT SETUP menu then try OFF.
There seems to be a time lag 
between the speakers and the 
output of the subwoofer.
• See Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 41 to set up your system 
again using MCACC (this will automatically compensate for a delay in the subwoofer output).
The maximum volume 
available (shown in the front 
panel display) is lower than the 
+12dB maximum.
• Check that the Volume Limit is set to OFF (see Volume Limit Setup on page 95).
Symptom
Remedy
No image is output when an 
input is selected.
• Check the video connections of the source component (see page 28).
• For HDMI, or when digital video conversion is set to OFF and a TV and another component are 
connected with different cords (in Setting the Video options on page 68), you must connect your TV 
to this receiver using the same type of video cable as you used to connect your video component.
• Make sure the input assignment is correct for components connected using component video, 
HDMI or S-Video cables (see The Input Setup menu on page 43).
• Check the video output settings of the source component.
• Check that the video input you selected on your TV is correct.
• Some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. If 
adjusting this receiver’s Resolution setting (in Setting the Video options on page 68) and/or the 
resolution settings on your component or display doesn’t work, try switching Digital Video 
Conversion (in Setting the Video options on page 68) OFF.
Can’t record video.
• Check that the source is not copy-protected.
• The video converter is not available when making recordings. Check that the same type of video 
cable is used for connecting both the recorder and the video source (the one you want to record) to 
this receiver.
Noisy, intermittent, or distorted 
picture.
• Sometimes a video deck may output a noisy video signal (during scanning, for example), or the 
video quality may just be poor (with some video game units, for example). The picture quality may 
also depend on the settings, etc. of your display device. Switch off the video converter and reconnect 
the source and display device using the same type of connection (component, S-Video or 
composite), then start playback again.
Video signals are not output 
from the component terminal.
• When a monitor only compatible with resolutions of 480i is connected to the component terminal 
and another monitor is connected to the HDMI terminal, the video signals may not be output to the 
monitor connected to the component terminal. If this happens, do the following:
  – Turn off the power of the monitor connected to the HDMI terminal.
  – Set RES on the VIDEO PARAMETER menu to PURE (page 68).
Symptom
Remedy
The Auto MCACC Setup 
continually shows an error.
• The ambient noise level may be too high. Keep the noise level in the room as low as possible (see 
also Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 43). If the noise level cannot be kept low 
enough, you will have to set up the surround sound manually (page 90).
• When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L (Single) 
terminals.
• To use a 5.1-channel speaker set, use the surround speakers for the surround channel, not the 
surround back channel.
• Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.
• If Reverse Phase is displayed, try the following: 
  – The speaker’s wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker connections.
  – Depending on the type of speakers and their installation conditions, Reverse Phase may be 
displayed even if the speakers are properly connected. If this happens, select GO NEXT and continue.
  – If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that 
affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), it may not be possible to properly identify 
the polarity.
