Troubleshooting

Sound skips.
e Place the unit on a stable place to avoid vibration and shock.
e If the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc.
e Don't use scratched, damaged or warped discs.
There is no sound or only a very low-level sound is heard.
e Check that the amplifier and speakers are connected
securely.
e Check the operation of the amplifier.
e Check the audio output setting (see page 23).
e When the amplifier is connected via the DIGITAL OUT
terminal, set the Digital Out setting to "ON" (see page 23).
e The sound is muted during pause. Press the PLAY button to
resume normal playback.
No multi-channel audio output
e Set the Analog Output setting to "Multi ch" (see page 23).
e Change the speaker configuration if necessary (see page
25).
e For digital multi-channel output, you must use a surround
amplifier, and set the DVD Digital Out settings to "Stream"
(see page 26).
e Super Audio CD and DVD audio discs may have more than
one group or playback area, not all of which contain multi-
channel audio data. Choose another group or playback area
(see page 15).
Overall volume is low, or balance between speakers is
strange
e A speaker's level (or that of a pair of speakers) has been set
up too low or too high in the speaker setup (see page 26).
Correct the levels.
e When the unit is downmixing multi-channel audio, the
volume differs from the non-downmixed level. Use the
amplifier to adjust the volume.
e When configuring speaker sizes, making "small" and "off"
settings on speakers other than the subwoofer can affect
the subwoofer volume. Adjust the level on the subwoofer
itself (see page 26).
No digital audio output.
e Check that the Digital Out setting is set to "ON" (see page 23).
e Some DVD-Audio discs prohibit digital audio output.

the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) terminals.
e No digital audio is output from the DIGITAL OUT terminals
when playing DVD-Audio in multi-channel (other than Dolby
Digital or DTS).
Digital audio recording is not possible on another device
e Check that the Digital Out setting is set to "ON". And the
digital output format must be set to "PCM" (see page 23,
26). Set the Analog Output setting to "2ch".
e Copy-prohibit material cannot be copied digitally.
