Troubleshooting
If your HS 280/HS 210 system isn’t performing the way you think it should, check to see if the problem is covered in this section before calling your dealer or contacting Harman
Kardon.
The receiver won’t power up (the Power Indicator is not lit):
Check that the receiver’s AC Power Cord is properly plugged into the receiver’s
•
AC Power Input connector.
Check that the AC power cord is plugged into a working AC outlet and that the
•
AC outlet is not controlled by a switch.
Sound plays through the HS 280/HS 210 speakers, but there is no TV picture:
Check the connection between the receiver and the TV.
•
Check that the TV is turned on and is set to the proper input source.
•
Confirm that all of the choices made in the Settings: Video menu are correct for
•
your TV.
If you’re using the HDMI connection, be sure that the TV or video display is
•
HDCP-compliant. If the TV is not HDCP-compliant, disconnect the HDMI cable
and use the receiver’s S-Video or composite-video connection.
There is no sound coming from the subwoofer:
Check that the subwoofer’s power cord is plugged into a working AC outlet.
•
Check that the subwoofer’s Power Switch is in the on position.
•
Check that the Subwoofer Level Control is not turned all the way down (fully
•
counterclockwise).
Check the audio connection between the receiver and the subwoofer.
•
Check the receiver’s Settings: Audio: Subwoofer menu to make sure that the
•
subwoofer volume has not been set at -10dB.
There is a constant hum in the sound:
Check that all input cables are plugged all the way into their connectors.
•
Check that all cables are at least 3m (9.8 ft.) from fluorescent lights.
•
Check that all cable connectors are clean. If necessary, wipe them with a cloth
•
slightly moistened with alcohol.
Turn the subwoofer’s Power switch off. If the hum goes away, there is a ground
•
loop between the subwoofer and the receiver. Plugging the subwoofer’s Power
Cord into the same AC outlet that the receiver is plugged into should eliminate
the ground loop.
The disc does not play:
Check that the disc is inserted correctly (label-side up).
•
Check that the disc is the correct type: DVD, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R/RW, VCD,
•
SVCD, CD, CD-R/RW, MP3, WMA (v7and v8). Other disc types will not play.
Check that the disc surface is clean and not scratched.
•
There is noise or other interference in the picture while the HS 280 is playing
a DVD:
Check that the disc surface is clean and not scratched.
•
If you have the receiver’s video output connected to your TV through your
•
VCR, the copy-protection program on some DVDs could affect picture quality.
Connect the receiver’s video output directly to your TV’s video input.
The sound and picture are out of sync:
Check the Audio: Settings: Delay menu and change the Delay setting to put the
•
sound back in sync with the picture.
The HS 280/HS 210 cannot tune in radio stations:
Check that the FM antenna is correctly connected.
•
Adjust the antenna’s position. If necessary, use a powered FM antenna or an
•
outdoor FM antenna.
The receiver does not respond to remote control commands:
Replace all three of the remote control’s batteries with fresh ones, and make
•
sure to install them correctly.
Hold the remote control closer to the receiver.
•
Check that the receiver’s remote sensor is in line of sight with the remote
•
control. If necessary, use an optional Harman Kardon HE 1000 external IR
receiver.
The remote does not control programmed components (TV or Video):
Check that you have pressed the remote’s TV or Video button before trying to
•
operate the component.
Re-learn the component’s commands into the remote.
•
The Ø symbol appears on the screen when you press a remote control button:
The selected function is not permitted at the time the button is pressed.
•
The receiver does not respond to commands, or behaves in an erratic way:
Unplug the receiver’s power cord from the AC outlet, wait 30 seconds, then
•
plug it back in.
