Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Before starting the procedure
Problems may be solved by simply turning the power on/off or disconnecting/connecting the power cord, which is easier than working on the connection, setting and operating procedure. Try the simple measures on both the unit and the connected device. If the problem is that the video or audio is not output or the HDMI linked operation does not work, disconnecting/connecting the HDMI cable may solve it. When reconnecting, be careful not to wind the HDMI cable since if wound the HDMI cable may not fit well. After reconnecting, turn off and on the unit and the connected device.

Power
☐ When the power is turned on, "AMP Diag Mode" appears on the display of the main unit
- The protection circuit function may have operated. If the unit suddenly enters the standby state and "AMP Diag Mode" appears on the display of the main unit when the power is turned on again, this function is diagnosing whether or not the main unit is malfunctioning or there is an abnormality with the speaker cable connection. When the diagnosis is complete, the following messages are displayed.
| CH SP WIRE | If the unit returns to the normal ON state after "CH SP WIRE" appears on the display, the speaker cable may have been short-circuited. After setting the power of this unit to standby state, connect the speaker cable again. Twist the wires exposed from the tip of the speaker cable so that the wires do not stick out of the speaker terminal. |
| NG: * * * * * | If the operation has stopped with "NG" displayed on the display, set the power of this unit to standby state immediately and remove the power plug from the outlet. The unit may be malfunctioning. Consult a dealer. |

The unit turns off unexpectedly
- If "5. Hardware" - "Power Management" - "Auto Standby" on the Setup menu is activated, the unit automatically enters the standby mode.
- The protection circuit function may have operated due to an abnormal rise in temperature of the unit. In such a case, the power turns off repeatedly even if the power is turned on each time. Secure sufficient ventilation space around the unit, wait for a while until the temperature of the unit decreases. Then, turn the power on again.
WARNING: If smoke, smell or abnormal noise is produced by the unit, unplug the power cord from the outlet immediately, and contact the dealer or our company's support.

Audio
- Make sure that the speaker setup microphone is no longer connected.

Check the following if the problem persists after you have confirmed the above.
(→p112)







Troubleshooting
☐ No sound from the TV
- Change the input selector on this unit to the position of the terminal to which the TV is connected.
- If the TV does not support the ARC function, along with the connection by an HDMI cable, connect the TV and this unit using a digital optical cable. (→p46)
☐ No sound from a connected player
- Change the input selector on this unit to the position of the jack to which the player is connected.
- Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some game consoles, such as those supporting DVD, the default setting may be off.
- For some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu.
☐ A speaker produces no sound
- Make sure that the polarity (+/-) of the speaker cables is correct, and that no bare wires are in contact with the metal part of speaker terminals.
- Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting out.
- Check "Connect the Speaker Cables" (→p31) to see if the speaker connections have been made correctly. Settings for the speaker connection environment need to be made in "Speaker Setup" in Initial Setup. Check "Initial Setup with Auto Start-up Wizard" (→p117).
- Depending on the input signal and listening mode, not much sound may be output from speakers. Select another listening mode to see if sound is output.
- If surround back speakers are installed, be sure to install surround speakers as well.
- A maximum of 5.1 ch playback is possible when Bi-Amping connection is used. Be sure to remove the jumper bar on the speakers when using Bi-Amping connection.
☐ The subwoofer produces no sound
If the setting of the front speakers is "Full Band", the low range elements will be output from the front speakers instead of from the subwoofer during
2 ch audio input of TV or music. To output the sound from the subwoofer, make one of the following settings.
- Change the setting for the front speakers to a setting of crossover frequency value other than "Full Band".
The range below the specified frequency will be output from the subwoofer instead of from the front speakers. If your front speakers have a high low-range reproduction capability, changing this setting is not recommended.
- Change "Double Bass" to "On".
The low range elements of the front speakers will be output from both the front speakers and the subwoofer. Due to this, the bass sound may be emphasized too much. In such a case, do not change the setting, or make the setting with the above option 1.
- For the setting details, refer to "2. Speaker" - "Crossover" on the Setup menu.
- If the input signals do not contain subwoofer audio elements (LFE), the subwoofer may produce no sound.







Troubleshooting
☐ Noise can be heard
- Using cable ties to bundle audio pin cables, power cords, speaker cables, etc. may degrade the audio quality. Do not bundle the cords. - An audio cable may be picking up interference. Change the position of the cables.
☐ The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN cannot be heard
- Since it takes longer to identify the format of an HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio signals, audio output may not start immediately.
☐ Sound suddenly reduces
- When using the unit for extended periods with the temperature inside the unit exceeding a certain temperature, the volume may be reduced automatically to protect the circuits.

AllCh Stereo
This mode is ideal for background music. Stereo sound is played through the surround speakers as well as the front speakers, creating a stereo image.
Atmos
Since this mode calculates the positional data of audio recorded in Dolby Atmos audio in real-time and outputs it from appropriate speakers, you can enjoy the natural and stereophonic sound field of Dolby Atmos with any speaker layout including connection of only front speakers. Also, the Dolby Atmos sound design can be reproduced more faithfully by connecting surround back speakers or height speakers. You can select this mode when inputting the Dolby Atmos audio format.
Unlike existing surround systems, Dolby Atmos does not rely on channels, but rather enables the accurate placement of sound objects that have independent motion in a 3D space with even greater clarity. Dolby Atmos is an optional audio format for Blu-ray Discs and achieves a more stereophonic sound field by introducing a sound field above the listener.
According to the speaker layout, the following listening modes are displayed. - Atmos 2.0/2.1: When only front speakers are installed
- Atmos 3.0/3.1: When front speakers and center speaker are installed
- Atmos 4.0/4.1: When front speakers and surround speakers are installed
