Additional Information 51GB There is no sound from a specific component. •Check that the component is connected correctly to the audio input jacks for that component. •Check that the cord(s) used for the connection is (are) fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component. •Check that you have selected the correct component on the receiver. There is no sound from one of the front speakers. Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack to verify that sound is output from the headphones (page 22). If only one channel is output from the headphones, the component may not be connected to the receiver correctly. Check that all the cords are fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component. If both channels are output from the headphones, the front speaker may not be connected to the receiver correctly. Check the connection of the front speaker which is not outputting any sound. The left and right sounds are unbalanced or reversed. •Check that the speakers and components are connected correctly and securely. •Adjust balance parameters in the LEVEL menu. There is severe hum or noise. •Check that the speakers and components are connected securely. •Check that the connecting cords are away from a transformer or motor, and at least 3 meters away from a TV set or fluorescent light. •Move your TV away from the audio components. •The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol. There is no sound or only a very low-level sound is heard from the center or /and surround speaker. •Make sure the sound field function is on (press MODE). •Select a sound field containing the word “C.ST.EX” (pages 24–25). •Adjust the speaker level (page 20). •Make sure the center or/and surround speaker size parameter is set to either “SMALL” or “LARGE” (page 16). There is no sound from the active sub woofer. There is no sound output from the SUB WOOFER terminal depending on the sound field (page 58). The surround effect cannot be obtained. Make sure the sound field function is on (press MODE). Dolby Digital or DTS multi channel sound is not reproduced. •Check that the playing DVD, etc. is recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS format. •When connecting the DVD player, etc. to the digital input jacks of this receiver, check the audio setting (settings for the audio output) of the connected component. Recording cannot be done. •Check that the components are connected correctly. •Select the source component with function button. •Make sure that INPUT MODE is set to “ANALOG” (page 22) before recording from a digital component connected to the analog MD/TAPE terminal. To connect an LD player via an RF demodulator. Connect the LD player to the RF demodulator, then connect the RF demodulator’s optical or coaxial digital output to the receiver’s jack. When making this connection, be sure to set INPUT MODE manually (page 22). The receiver may not operate correctly if INPUT MODE is set to “AUTO IN”. For details on DOLBY DIGITAL RF hookups, see the operating instructions supplied with your RF demodulator. continued
52GB The FM reception is poor. Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna as shown below. If you connect the receiver to an outdoor antenna, ground it against lightning. To prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe. Radio stations cannot be tuned in. •Check that the antennas are connected securely. Adjust the antennas and connect an external antenna if necessary. • The signal strength of the stations is too weak (when tuning in with automatic tuning). Use direct tuning. • Make sure you set the tuning interval correctly (when tuning in AM stations with direct tuning). • No stations have been preset or the preset stations have been cleared (when tuning by scanning preset stations). Preset the stations (page 33). • Press DISPLAY so that the frequency appears in the display. RDS does not work.* •Make sure that you ’re tuned to an FM RDS station. • Select a stronger FM station.

If so, the service may be temporarily out of order. There is no picture or an unclear picture appears on the TV screen or monitor. • Select the appropriate function on the receiver. • Set your TV to the appropriate input mode. • Move your TV away from the audio components. The remote does not function. •The VIDEO3, TV/SAT, PHONO, AUX, SOURCE, MPX/DUAL, ANALOG DIRECT, 12 and ON SCREEN buttons on the remote are not available for HT-DDW840 (RM-PP411 only). • The MULTI CH button on the remote is not available for HT-DDW740 (RM-U306 only). • Point the remote at the remote sensor g on the receiver. • Check that the mode of the remote corresponds to that of the receiver (pages 37 and 42) (RM-PP411 only). • Check that you select AV2 as the command mode of the receiver (page 37) (RM-U306 only). • Remove any obstacles in the path between the remote and the receiver. • Replace both batteries in the remote with new ones, if they are weak. • Make sure you select the correct function on the remote. • If the remote is set to operate the TV only, use the remote to select a source or component other than TV before operating the receiver or other component. • Press MAIN MENU on the remote before you use the V/v /\f /b buttons for receiver operation (RM-PP411 only). * Models of area code CEL, CEK only.
