Troubleshooting

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and

malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with

this component, check the points below. Take a look at the

other components and electrical appliances being used,

because sometimes the problem may lie there. If the trouble

isn’t sorted out even after going through the checks below,

ask your nearest Pioneer authorized independent service

company to carry out repair work.

•

If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects

such as static electricity disconnect the power plug from

the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating

conditions.

General

 The power does not turn on.

# Disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and insert again.

 The receiver suddenly switches off.

# When the Auto Power Down function is working, the power

will automatically turn off if the receiver has not operated for

several hours. Check the setting for the Auto Power Down

function (see The Auto Power Down menu on page 32).

# Make sure there are no loose strands of speaker wire

touching the rear panel. This could cause the receiver to shut

off automatically.

# After about a minute (you won’t be able to switch the unit on

during this time), switch the receiver back on. If the message

persists, call a Pioneer authorized independent service

company.

# If there is very little low frequency information in the source

material, change your speaker settings to Front: SMALL /

Subwoofer: YES, or Front: LARGE / Subwoofer: PLUS

(page 30).

 The HDMI indicator blinks and the power does not turn

on.

# The receiver may have a serious problem. Do not try

switching the receiver on. Unplug the receiver from the wall

and call a Pioneer authorized independent service company.

 The input of this unit switches from one to another.

(When the ARC function is ON)

# The CEC (Consumer Electronic Control) function may

activate when the ARC function is turned ON, causing the

input to switch from one to another. Since this unit does not

guarantee synchronized operation based on the CEC

function, turn OFF the HDMI CONTROL setting on the

connected player. Refer to the relevant device’s instruction

manual for details.

If this does not work, turn OFF the ARC function. If this is the

case, listen to the TV audio after connecting this unit and the

TV with an audio cable.

 OVERHEAT shows in the display and the power turns off.

# The temperature within the unit has exceeded the allowable

value. Try moving the unit for better ventilation.

# Lower the volume level.

 TEMP shows in the display and the volume level drops.

# The temperature within the unit has exceeded the allowable

# Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the source

component.

 No image is output when an input function is selected.

and TV to connect to this receiver (see About video outputs

connection on page 11).

to the instruction manual supplied with the TV.

 No sound from subwoofer.

# Make sure the subwoofer is switched on.

# If the subwoofer has a volume knob, make sure it’s turned up.

# The Dolby Digital or DTS source you are listening to may not

have an LFE channel.

# Switch the subwoofer setting in Speaker Setting on page 30

to YES or PLUS.

# Switch the LFE ATT (LFE Attenuate) on page 28 to LFEATT

0 or LFEATT 5.

 No sound from surround or center speakers.

# Connect the speakers properly (page 9).

# Refer to Speaker Setting on page 30 to check the speaker

settings.

# Refer to Channel Level on page 31 to check the speaker

levels.

 No sound from a specific speaker.

# Make sure the speaker cable is connected correctly. (Ensure

that the connection terminal is correct, that the speaker wire is

firmly inserted, and that no speaker wire is touching the rear

panel.)

 The Phase Control feature doesn’t seem to have an

audible effect.

# If applicable, check that the lowpass filter switch on your

subwoofer is off, or the lowpass cutoff is set to the highest

frequency setting. If there is a PHASE setting on your

subwoofer, set it to 0º (or depending on the subwoofer, the

setting where you think it has the best overall effect on the

sound).

# Make sure the speaker distance setting is correct for all

speakers (see Speaker Distance on page 32).

 Considerable noise in radio broadcasts.

# Connect the antenna (page 14) and adjust the position for

best reception.

# Route any loose cables away from the antenna terminals and

wires.

# Fully extend the DAB/FM wire antenna, position for best

reception, and secure to a wall (or connect an outdoor FM

antenna).

# Turn off equipment causing interference or move it away from

the receiver (or move antennas farther away from equipment

causing noise).

 Broadcast stations cannot be selected automatically.

# Connect an outdoor antenna (page 14).

 Noise during playback of a cassette deck.

# Move the cassette deck away from your receiver, until the

noise disappears.

 No sound is output or a noise is output when software

with DTS is played back.

# Make sure the player’s settings are correct and/or the DTS

signal out is on. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with

the DVD player.

 There seems to be a time lag between the speakers and

the output of the subwoofer.

# See Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on

page 16 to set up your system again using Full Auto MCACC

(this will automatically compensate for a delay in the

subwoofer output).
