Troubleshooting
Before starting the procedure
Problems may be solved by simply turning the power on/o 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 o 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.

About HDMI
Compatible functions
HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Interface) is a digital interface standard for
connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, digital tuners, and other
video components. Several separate video and audio cables have been required
to connect AV components so far. With HDMI, a single cable can transmit control
signals, digital video and digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio,
and multichannel PCM).
HDMI CEC function:
By connecting a device that complies with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)
of the HDMI standard using an HDMI cable, a variety of linked operations
between devices are possible. This function enables various linking operations
with players, such as switching input selectors interlocking with a player,
adjusting the volume of this unit using the remote controller of a TV, and
automatically switching this unit to standby when the TV is turned o.
The unit is designed to link with products that comply with the CEC standard,
however, linked operation is not always guaranteed with all CEC devices.
For linked functions to work properly, do not connect CEC-compliant devices
exceeding the connectable number to the HDMI jack as shown below.
• Blu-ray Disc/DVD players: up to 3 units
• Blu-ray Disc/DVD recorders: up to 3 units
• Cable TV tuner, terrestrial digital tuner, and satellite broadcasting tuner: up to
