Important safety instructions
1 Read these instructions. 2 Keep these instructions. 3 Heed all warnings. 4 Follow all instructions. 5 Do not use this apparatus near water. 6 Clean only with dry cloth. 7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8 Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to

Caution
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with these instructions.
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of your system and to protect it from over-heating.
The openings should never be blocked by placing your system on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This system should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless correct ventilation is provided or these instructions have been adhered to.
Caution
We recommend that most appliances be placed upon a dedicated circuit—a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of this manual for power requirements.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire.
Periodically examine the power cord. If its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of your system, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized service provider.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits your receiver.
To disconnect power from the outlet, pull out the plug. When installing your system, make sure that the plug is easily accessible.

12 Use only with the cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15 Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the apparatus from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
• If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or water,
• If the apparatus does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the apparatus to its normal operation,
• If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
• When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in performance this indicates a need for service.
16 Object and Liquid Entry
• Never push objects of any kind into the apparatus through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus.
• Don’t put candles or other burning objects on top of this unit.
17 Batteries
Always consider the environmental issues and follow local regulations when disposing of batteries.
18 If you install the apparatus in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board above the apparatus shall be set 10 cm (4") away from the rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like gap for warm air to escape.
Precautions
1 Recording copyrighted material—Unless it’s for
personal use only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without the permission of the copyright holder.
2 AC fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not
user-serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact your Insignia dealer.
3 Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all
over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
4 Power
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the voltage in your area meets
the voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.
Pressing ON/STANDBY to select Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If you do not intend to use the unit for an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

6 Batteries and heat exposure
7 Never touch this unit with wet hands—Never
handle this unit or its power cord while your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside this unit, have it checked by your Insignia dealer.

Placing your speakers
1 - Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full-sound image. In movies it is used mainly for dialog. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front speakers.
2 - Front speakers
These provide the overall sound. Their role in a home theater system is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
3 - Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the width of the wall, as shown.
4 - Surround speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about two to three feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.
Speaker precautions
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If liquid is spilled on the speakers, they may be damaged.
• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause damage, affects the sound quality.
• If the subwoofer is placed near a turntable, CD player, or Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, howling or slipping of the sound may occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable, CD player, or Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, or lower the subwoofer’s output level.
Connecting your speakers to the receiver
Speaker configuration
The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have. For 5.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need five speakers and a powered subwoofer.
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass.
To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings. You can do this automatically (see “Using the Audyssey 2EQ® room correction and speaker setup” on page 14, or manually (see “Configuring speakers (Sp Config menu) on page 21).
Attaching the speaker cable labels
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are all red. (The negative (–) speaker terminals are all black.)
The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-coded. You should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the table above. Then all you need to do is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.
Speaker connection precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be activated.
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.
Tip
To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the receiver.
• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the receiver.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.
To connect the speaker cables:
1 Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of insulation
from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.
2 Loosen the speaker terminals on the receiver
and insert the speaker wires into the terminals. The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals.
3 Tighten the terminals to secure the wire.
To connect the subwoofer:
1 Using a subwoofer RCA cable, connect the AV
receiver's SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to an input on your powered subwoofer, as shown.
Connecting devices
Connecting the antenna
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna.
The receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.
Tips
• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.
• Do not insert the speaker wire directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.
Warning
Do not plug the AC cord into the AC outlet until all connections are completed.
Notes
• Be sure to observe the color coding when connecting audio and speaker cords.
• Make connections firmly and correctly. Failure to do this can cause loss of sound, add noise to the sound, or damage your receiver.

AV Recording
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (such as a cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the VCR OUT jacks. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (such as a VCR or DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR Out jack.
To record an audio source:
1 Use the input selector buttons to select the
source that you want to record. You can watch the source while recording. The receiver’s MASTER VOLUME control has no effect on recording.
2 Start recording on your recorder. 3 On the source component, start playback. If you
select another input source during recording, that input source will be recorded.
Recording Separate AV Sources
You can record audio and video from completely separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (TV/CD) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.
In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the TV/CD IN jack and video from the camcorder connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the
VCR/DVR OUT jacks.
To record separate AV sources:
1 Prepare the camcorder and CD player for
playback and the VCR for recording.
2 Press the AUX input selector. 3 Press the TV/CD input selector. This selects the
CD player as the audio source, but leaves the camcorder as the video source.
4 Start recording on the VCR and start playback
on the camcorder and CD player. The video from the camcorder and the audio from the CD player are recorded by the VCR.

Installing batteries in the remote control
To install the batteries:
1 Remove the cover.
2 Insert two AA batteries into the compartment
matching the polarity indicated.
3 Replace the cover.
Using the remote control
Use the remote control by pointing it towards the receiver’s remote sensor window. Objects between the remote control and sensor window may prevent proper operation.
Use the remote control within about 16 feet (5 meters) of the receiver and within 30 degrees of perpendicular to the front of the receiver.
Using the Audyssey 2EQ® room correction and speaker setup
With the supplied calibration microphone, Audyssey 2EQ® automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size (for purposes of bass management), optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position.
Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone.
Enabling Audyssey 2EQ lets you also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ®, which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level.
Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.
It takes about 15 minutes to complete the room correction and speaker setup for three positions. Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.
Using Audyssey 2EQ®
To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners can enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ® takes measurements at up to three positions within the listening area.
Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this produces inaccurate results.
First measurement position (1)–Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. 2EQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
Second measurement position (2)–The right side of the listening area.
Third measurement position (3)–The left side of the listening area.
The distances from position 1 to 2 and 1 to 3 must be at least 3.3 feet (1 meter).
Cautions
• If the remote control doesn’t work reliably, try replacing the batteries.
• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of batteries.
• If you intend not to use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.
• Remove expired batteries as soon as possible to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.
Cautions
• Do not expose the remote control to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote control to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity.
• Do not place the remote control under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the remote control.
• The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window of the receiver is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such a case, change the angle of the lighting or receiver, or operate the remote control closer to the remote sensor window.

The mono setting specifies the channel to be used for playing any 2-channel digital source, such as Dolby Digital, or 2- channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening mode.
Setting the Dolby options (Panorama, Dimension, and Center Width submenus)
These settings only apply to 2-channel stereo sources.
The Panorama setting lets you broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode.
The Dimension setting lets you move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward. If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move it backward.
The Center Width setting lets you adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound is distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.
Setting the DTS options (Center Image submenu)
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode lets you create 6-channel surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create the center channel.
A value 0 is only audible from the center speaker. A value of more than 0 is audible from the left and right speakers as well.
Adjusting the Audyssey settings (Audyssey 2EQ®, Dynamic EQ®, Dynamic Volume® and Reference Level submenus
Audyssey 2EQ® is a room equalization solution that calibrates any audio system so that it can achieve optimum performance for every listener in a large listening area. Based on several room measurements, 2EQ calculates an equalization solution that corrects for both time and frequency response problems in the listening area and performs a fully automated surround system setup.
With Audyssey Dynamic EQ®, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels. Audyssey Dynamic EQ® solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment, so that the content sounds the way it was created, at any volume level — not just at reference level.
Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference. To achieve the same reference level in a home theater system, each speaker level must be adjusted so that –30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position. A home theater system automatically calibrated by Audyssey 2EQ® plays at reference level when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB position. At that level you can hear the mix as the mixers heard it.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ® is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film content. The Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ® Audyssey Dynamic EQ® solves the problem of
deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics.
Dynamic EQ® selects the correct frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment at any user selected volume setting. The result is bass response, tonal balance, and surround impression that remain constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ® combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ® works in tandem with Audyssey 2EQ to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.
About Audyssey Dynamic Volume® Audyssey Dynamic Volume® solves the problem of
large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Audyssey Dynamic Volume® looks at the preferred volume setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Audyssey Dynamic Volume® makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ® is integrated into Audyssey Dynamic Volume® so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to surround sound content.
Adjusting the Theater-Dimensional setting (Listening Angle submenu)
This setting lets you optimize the Theater-Dimensional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.
Naming inputs (Name Edit menu)
You can enter a preset name for each individual input selector for easy identification. When entered, the preset name appears on the display.
Before selecting a name, press the input selector to select the input source to name.

15 dB–Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range.
Dynamic Volume

Maintaining
To clean this receiver, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped in a soap and water solution or a weak detergent solution.
• Never use alcohol, paint thinner, or benzine to clean this receiver.
• Before using a chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with the cloth carefully.
Troubleshooting
If a problem occurs, run through the following table before contacting Insignia.
If the problem persists, attempt to solve it by switching the receiver off and on again. If this fails to resolve the problem, contact Insignia. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the receiver yourself as this could void the warranty.
To reset the receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down VCR/DVR, press ON/ STANDBY. Clear appears on the display and the receiver enters Standby mode.
To reset the remote control to its factory defaults, while holding down RECEIVER, press and hold down AUDIO until the remote indicator lights (about three seconds). Within 30 seconds, press RECEIVER again.
Notes
• The receiver contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. If this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.
• Insignia is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction.
• Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, set the receiver to Standby.
Note that resetting the receiver will delete your radio presets and custom settings.

AUDIO Problems
No power
• Connect the cord securely.
• Check the outlet using a lamp or another appliance.
The STANDBY indicator flashes red
• Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immediately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources, and then leave the receiver with its power cord disconnected for one hour. After that, reconnect the power cord and set the volume to maximum. If the receiver stays on, set then the volume to minimum, disconnect the power cord, and reconnect your speakers and input sources. If the receiver turns off when you set the volume to maximum, disconnect the power cord, and contact your Insignia dealer.
No sound
• Make sure that the digital input source is selected properly.
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way.
• Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all components are connected properly.
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is correct, and that the bare wires are in contact with the metal part of each speaker terminal.
• Make sure that the input source is properly selected.
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.
• Check the volume. The receiver is designed for home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range, allowing precise adjustment.
• If the MUTING indicator is flashing on the display, press the remote control MUTING button to unmute the receiver.
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers.
• If there is no sound from a DVD player connected to HDMI IN jack, check the DVD player’s output settings, and be sure to select a supported audio format.
• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some game consoles, such as those that support DVD, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu.
• If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer.
• Make sure that none of the connecting cables are bent, twisted, or damaged.
• Not all listening modes use all speakers.
• Specify the speaker distances and adjust the individual speaker levels.
• The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to Auto.
Only the front speakers produce sound
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, only the front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.
• Check the Speaker Configuration.
Only the center speaker produces sound
• If you use the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic II Music, or Dolby Pro Logic II Game listening mode with a mono source, such as an AM radio station or mono TV program, the sound is concentrated in the center speaker.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.
The surround speakers produce no sound
• When the T-D (Theater-Dimensional), Stereo, or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound.
• Depending on the source and current listening mode, not much sound may be produced by the surround speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.
The center speaker produces no sound
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the center speaker produces no sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.
The subwoofer produces no sound
• When you play source material that contains no information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly.
• If you are using Rocketboost™ to send audio to the subwoofer, make sure that the NS-RB1 power is ON

There’s no sound with a certain signal format
• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some game consoles, such as those that support DVD, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu.
• Depending on the input signal, some listening modes cannot be selected.
No 5.1 playback
• You can not always select all of the listening modes, depending on the number of the speakers connected.
The volume cannot be set to 79
• Check to see if a maximum volume has been set.
• After the volume level of each individual speaker has been adjusted, the maximum volume may be reduced.
• When the levels of each speaker have been adjusted, the maximum possible volume may be reduced.
Noise can be heard
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the audio performance, so don’t do it.
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try repositioning your cables.
The Late Night function does not work
• Make sure that the source material is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.
DTS signal problems
• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bitstream stops, the receiver remains in DTS listening mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the receiver does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear any sound, in which case you should stop your player for about three seconds, and then resume playback.
• With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (for example, output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the receiver does not recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.
• When playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player may produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction.
The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN can not be heard
• Since it takes longer to identify the format of an HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio signals, audio output may not start immediately.
VIDEO Problems
No picture
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way.
• Make sure that each video component is properly connected.
• If the video source is connected to a component video input, you must assign that input to an input selector, and your TV must be connected to COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT.
• If the video source is connected to a composite video input, your TV must be connected to the corresponding composite video output.
• If the video source is connected to an HDMI input, you must assign that input to an input selector, and your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT.
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the receiver is connected is selected.
There is no picture from a source connected to an HDMI IN
• Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not guaranteed.
The on-screen menus do not appear
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the receiver is connected is selected.
• When the receiver doesn’t connect TV with HDMI, onscreen menus are not displayed.
Category Problem/Possible Solution
TUNER Problems
Reception is noisy, FM stereo reception is noisy, or the FM STEREO indicator does not light
• Relocate your antenna.
• Move the receiver away from your TV or computer.
• Listen to the station in mono.
• When listening to an AM station, operating the remote control may cause noise.
• Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.
• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.
• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna.
WIRELESS Problems
No communication between the NS-RB1 and your receiver
• Make sure that Hub Status switch on the NS-RB1 is set correctly.
• Make sure that the power LEDs on NS-RB1 and other devices light solid blue/green. If the power LEDs blink slowly, try to establish the link again. For more information, see "Establishing communications" on page 13.
Cannot connect a source device
• If your network is already full with transmitters when joining is attempted, the source LED will blink three times and then turn off. Remove (power down) a transmitting device and try again.
• When you try to join a device to a network that has too many nodes, the device will stay in joining mode until it times out (30 second timeout). Upon timeout the unit should be on and flash the power ring LED in a slow blink indicating it is not connected to the network.
REMOTE CONTROL Problems
The remote control does not work
• Before operating this unit, be sure to press RECEIVER.
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the correct polarity.
• Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of batteries, or old and new batteries.
• Make sure that the remote control is not too far away from the receiver, and that there’s no obstruction between the remote control and the receiver’s remote control sensor.
• Make sure that the A receiver is not subjected to direct sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Relocate if necessary.
• If the receiver is installed in a rack or cabinet with colored-glass doors, the remote control may not work reliably when the doors are closed.
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote control mode.
• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control code.
• Make sure to set the same ID on both the receiver and remote control.
Cannot control other components
• Make sure that you have selected the correct remote control mode.
• If you cannot operate it, you need to enter the appropriate remote control code.
RECORDING Problems
Cannot record
• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected.
• To prevent signal loops and damage to the receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs with the same name (for example, VCR/DVR IN to VCR/ DVR OUT).
MISCELLANEOUS Problems
The sound changes when I connect my headphones
• When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo, Mono, or Direct.
