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 t well. After reconnecting, turn off and on the

unit and the connected device.

• The AV receiver contains a microPC for signal processing and control

functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least 5 seconds, and then plug it back in.

• Our company is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.
