Power standby/On

∫ The auto-standby feature

This unit supports the auto-standby feature, which automatically switches the power to standby when no signal is input or no BLUETOOTH connection is made by switching the input source to BLUETOOTH for 20 minutes. This feature is switched on by default on European models. On North American models, the feature is switched off. To switch it on/off, change the applicable setting on the app.

∫ Manually switching the power to

standby or on

To manually switch the power to standby or on, either use the app or press ON/STANDBY on the back of the main unit.

∫ To reduce the amount of power

consumed in standby

While the power is on, press and hold ON/ STANDBY for at least 3 seconds. In this state, the power cannot be turned on with the app, and to turn the power on again press ON/STANDBY on this unit.

0 Be sure to connect the AC adapter to

the unit first, and then connect the power cord to the outlet. When disconnecting the power cord, be sure to press and hold ON/STANDBY for at least 3 seconds to switch the power of this unit to standby in advance, and always disconnect the outlet side first.

0 When the unit is in standby, you can

also press INPUT to turn the power on.

0 Do not use any power cord or AC

adapter other than the supplied ones. This may cause a fire or electrical shock.

0 The supplied power cord and AC

adapter are designed specifically for the unit. Do not use them for other devices. This may cause a fire or electrical shock.

Operation of the buttons on the main unit

Furthermore, available services may vary depending on your area of residence. Depending on the service, the user may need to register from their computer first.

∫ Spotify Connect

To enable Spotify Connect, install the Spotify application on your smartphone or tablet and create a Spotify premium account.

Information about the BLUETOOTH® feature

This unit supports BLUETOOTH enabled devices with the A2DP profile. However, connection is not always guaranteed with all BLUETOOTH enabled devices. Read the following for cautions when pairing and playing.

∫ Pairing

0 The pairing mode is canceled after about

5 minutes.

0 If a password is requested on the

BLUETOOTH enabled device when selecting this unit, enter "0000".

0 This unit can store the data of up to eight

paired devices. The information for the oldest paired device is deleted when you try to pair a ninth device.

∫ Notes when playing

0 The coverage area is 15 meters.

0 When the audio volume of your BLUETOOTH

enabled device is set low, the playback of audio may be unavailable. Turn up the volume on the BLUETOOTH enabled device.

0 Due to the characteristics of BLUETOOTH

wireless technology, the sound produced on this unit may slightly be behind the sound played on the BLUETOOTH enabled device.

0 Radio wave interference may occur in the

vicinity of components, such as microwave ovens or cordless phones, which use radio waves in the 2.4 GHz range. This interference may render this unit unusable. Also, if there are metal objects near the unit, BLUETOOTH connection may not be possible as metal can interfere with the radio waves.

Troubleshooting

Reset button

When operation is unstable, problems may be solved by turning the power to standby and back on or by disconnecting and connecting the power cord. Try the simple measures on both the unit and the connected device. If this doesn't fix the problem, restarting or initializing the unit may solve the problem.

∫ Restarting this unit

Use a pin or similar long thin object to press the reset button. If restarting doesn't fix the problem, try initializing the unit.

∫ Initializing the unit (the settings are

initialized)

When you initialize, network settings and pairing information will also be initialized, so we recommend that you note down your settings before initializing.

1 While the power is on, press ON/STANDBY

while pressing INPUT.

0 The indicators go out and the unit is

initialized.

∫ If the power goes off suddenly

The power may turn off suddenly when the protection circuit in the unit functions. If this occurs, unplug the power cord, then reconnect and turn the unit on again. If the power turns off repeatedly, unplug the power cord and contact the place of purchase.

∫ When the power of other units cannot

be turned on with the app

To turn on Onkyo devices connected to the same network as this unit using the app, you first need to enable the network standby settings on those devices.

∫ When Wi-Fi settings with AUX

connection aren't going well

If the volume of the device where the app is installed is low or if sound effects are set to on, it may not be possible to set properly. Try increasing the volume or turn the sound effects off.

∫ When you cannot connect to a network

via Wi-Fi

0 If this unit is connected by both an ethernet

cable and Wi-Fi to the access point, the ethernet connection is prioritized. The connection switches to Wi-Fi when you disconnect the ethernet cable.

0 If the device being used (wireless LAN router,

etc.) is too far from the unit, or if there is an obstacle between them, improve the Wi-Fi performance by closing the distance between them, for example.

0 Avoid using devices that generate

electromagnetic waves, such as a microwave.

0 If your Wi-Fi network covers areas near

devices that generate electromagnetic waves, keep the unit away from these areas.

∫ Firmware update does not complete

successfully

If you updated the unit from an app, if an error code is displayed on the screen of the app or the Wi-Fi indicator on the unit lights red, the update did not complete successfully. Press ON/ STANDBY on the unit to turn the unit off and then on again, then restart the app. The unit restarts and the update starts again automatically about a minute later. Alternatively, if the update icon is displayed again in the app, tap the icon to restart the update. The Wi-Fi indicator on this unit flashes blue during the update. When the indicator stops flashing and lights blue, the update is complete, so press ON/ STANDBY to turn the unit off and then on again. If the update cannot be restarted, check the network connection.
