FAQ

Symptom Remedy

VSX-1130 only: No sound from sur-

round back speakers.

Check that the surround back speakers are set to LARGE or SMALL, and the surround

speakers are not set to NO (see Speaker Setting on page 107 ).

Check the speaker connections (see Connecting the speakers on page 24 ). If only

one surround back speaker is connected, make sure it’s connected to the left channel

speaker terminal.

When Speaker System is set to 7.2ch/5.2.2ch and SP: TMd ON is selected with the

OUT P. button, no sound will be output from the surround back speakers. Select SP:

SB ON or SP: SB/TMd ON (see Switching the speaker terminals on page 88 ).

When Speaker System is set to 7.2ch SB/FW and SP: FW ON is selected with the OUT P.

button, no sound will be output from the surround back speakers. Select SP: SB ON or

SP: SB/FW ON (see Switching the speaker terminals on page 88 ).

When Dolby Surround is selected, audio is not output from the surround back speaker

when it is the only one connected (set).

VSX-1130 only: No sound from front

wide speakers.

Check that the front wide speakers are set to LARGE or SMALL, and the surround speak-

ers are not set to NO (see Speaker Setting on page 107 ).

Check the speaker connections (see Connecting the speakers on page 24 ).

When Speaker System is set to 7.2ch SB/FW and SP: SB ON is selected with the OUT P.

button, no sound will be output from the front wide speakers. Select SP: FW ON or SP:

SB/FW ON (see Switching the speaker terminals on page 88 ).

When Speaker System is set to 7.2ch SB/FW and Dolby Surround is selected, audio is

not output from the front wide speakers.

No sound from subwoofer. Check that the subwoofer is connected properly, switched on and the volume turned up.

If your subwoofer has a sleep function, make sure it is switched off.

Make sure that the Subwoofer setting is YES or PLUS (see Speaker Setting on page 107 ).

The crossover frequency may be set too low; try setting it higher to match the characteris-

tics of your other speakers (see Speaker Setting on page 107 ).

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

(see Speaker Setting on page 107 ).

Check that the LFE channel is not set to OFF, or to a very quiet setting (see Setting the

Audio options on page 86 ).

Check the speaker level settings (see Channel Level on page 108 ).

No sound from one speaker.

Check the speaker connection (see Connecting the speakers on page 24 ).

Check the speaker level settings (see Channel Level on page 108 ).

Check that the speaker hasn’t been set to NO (see Speaker Setting on page 107 ).

The channel may not be recorded in the source. By using one of the advanced effect

listening modes, you may be able to create the missing channel (see Enjoying various

types of playback using the listening modes on page 71 ).

No digital sound is output.

Make sure that the digital input is assigned correctly for the input jack the component is

connected to (see The Input Setup menu on page 59 ).

Check the digital output settings on the source component.

Other audio problems

Symptom Remedy

Broadcast stations cannot be

selected automatically, or there is

considerable noise in radio broad-

casts.

Fully extend the FM wire antenna, adjust the position for best reception and secure to a

wall, etc.

Use an outdoor antenna for better reception (see pages 32 , 46 ).

Adjust the position and direction of the AM antenna.

Noise may be caused by interference from other equipment, such as a fluorescent light,

motor, etc. Switch off or move the other equipment, or move the AM antenna.

Subwoofer output is very low.

To route more signal to the subwoofer, set it to PLUS or set the front speakers to SMALL

(see Speaker Setting on page 107 ).

Everything seems to be set up cor-

rectly, but the playback sound is odd.

The speakers may be out of phase. Check that the positive/negative speaker terminals on

the receiver are matched with the corresponding terminals on the speakers (see Con-

necting the speakers on page 24 ).

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 sub-

woofer, 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 108 ).

Can’t select some Input functions

by the INPUT SELECTOR on the

front panel or the ALL button on the

remote control.

Check the Input Skip settings in the Input Setup menu (see The Input Setup menu on

page 59 ).

Check the HDMI Input assignment in the Input Setup menu then try OFF (see The Input

Setup menu on page 59 ).

There seems to be a time lag

between the speakers and the output

of the subwoofer.

See Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 58

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 Setup on page 109 ).

The channel level setting may be over 0.0dB.

Certain listening modes or

HOME MENU items cannot be

selected.

Some functions cannot be selected, depending on the input signal and listening mode.

The volume level drops automati-

cally.

The temperature within the unit has exceeded the allowable value. Try moving the unit for

better ventilation (see Installing the receiver on page 11 ).

Volume seems different when input

is switched.

Set the Channel Level setting to ALL, then adjust the volume of the respective input

sources (see Input Volume Absorber on page 89 ).

VSX-1130 only: When HDZONE is ON,

multi-channel audio sources are not

output in the main zone.

When HDZONE is selected in Speaker System and also the same HDMI input is selected

for both the main zone and HDZONE, 2-channel PCM audio sources are output from the

main zone as well. To output multi-channel audio sources, set HDZONE to OFF or change

the HDZONE input.

VSX-1130 only: No HDZONE sound

is output.

With HDZONE, multi-channel audio may not be output. In this case, set the audio output

setting of your playback device to 2-channel PCM.
