TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting Refer to the table below when this unit does not function properly. If the problem you are experiencing is not listed below or if the instruction below does not help, turn off this unit, disconnect the power cable, and contact the nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center. ■ General Problem This unit fails to turn on or enters the standby mode soon after the power is turned on. No sound. The power cable is not connected or the plug is not completely inserted.
Troubleshooting Problem Cause Remedy See page Only the center speaker outputs substantial sound. When playing a monaural source with a sound field program, the source signal is directed to the center channel, and the front and surround speakers output effect sounds. No sound is heard from the center speaker. “CENTER SP” in “SET MENU” is set to “NONE”. Set “CENTER SP” to “SMALL” or “LARGE”. 88 One of the sound field programs (except for “7ch Stereo”) has been selected.
Troubleshooting Problem Cause Remedy The volume level cannot be increased, or the sound is distorted. The component connected to the AUDIO Turn on the power of the component. OUT (REC) jacks of this unit is turned off. The sound effects cannot be recorded. It is not possible to record the sound effects with a recording component. A source cannot be recorded by a digital recording component connected to the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack.
Troubleshooting ■ Tuner (FM/AM) Problem Cause FM stereo reception is noisy. FM AM Remedy The characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts may cause this problem when the transmitter is too far away or the antenna input is poor. There is distortion, and There is multi-path interference. clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna. The desired station cannot be tuned into with the automatic tuning method. The signal is too weak. Previously preset stations can no longer be tuned into.

GLOSSARY Glossary ■ Audio and video synchronization (lip sync) Lip sync, an abbreviation for lip synchronization, is a technical term that involves both a problem and a capability of maintaining audio and video signals synchronized during post-production and transmission. Whereas the audio and video latency requires complex end-user adjustments, HDMI version 1.
Glossary ■ Dolby Surround ■ DTS Express Dolby Surround uses a 4-channel analog recording system to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog (monaural), and a surround channel for special sound effects (monaural). The surround channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as well.
Glossary ■ LFE 0.1 channel ■ “x.v.Color” This channel reproduces low-frequency signals. The frequency range of this channel is from 20 Hz to 120 Hz. This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a low-frequency range compared to the full-range reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems. A color space standard supported by HDMI version 1.3.
SOUND FIELD PROGRAM INFORMATION Sound field program information ■ Elements of a sound field ■ SILENT CINEMA What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In addition to making the sound live, these reflections enable us to tell where the player is situated as well as the size and shape of the room in which we are sitting.
