The Remote Control unit transmits an infrared signal in addition to an
RF signal. When operation by means of the RF signal is not possible be-
cause of the radio wave conditions, aim the Remote Control unit towards
the receiver and use it as an infrared remote control.
For operation of other identified devices or with an external IR receiver,
aim the Remote Control unit towards the respective unit and use it as an
infrared remote control.
Do not block the remote control IR transmitter on the Receiver or the
transceiver part of the Remote Control unit. A momentary error is pos-
sible when the signal is interrupted even momentarily during transmis-
sion and reception (for example by a person passing through the beam).
In such a case, the most recent information will be displayed when CON-
FIRM/SHIFT button on the Remote Control unit is pressed. Sometime it
may be necessary to reenter the interrupted command again.
Chapter Two: Controlling the Receiver
Remote Control unit provided with the receiver is a bi-directional Re-
mote Control unit, which enables remote control while checking the in-
formation shown on the LCD display. The operations of connected de-
vices can also be controlled from Remote Control unit.
Before first time using the receiver or after having changed or added the
connected devices, please be sure to read the separate booklet entitled
“Connection and Setup Guide”.
The present manual describes the operation procedures in normal use.
This chapter is composed of the following sections.

How Do I Adjust the Surround Modes?
How Do I Adjust the Surround Modes?
You can experience true home-theater sound with your Kenwood Audio-
Video Receiver. This receiver incorporates several listen modes to let you
enjoy surround sound with a wide variety of program sources. Each pro-
duces multiple channels of surround-sound, but each does it differently.
What is the THX?
•
THX: Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters called
dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theaters
with similar equipment and conditions. The soundtrack created for
movie theaters is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape,
DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a small home theater
environment.
THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately trans-
late the sound from the movie theater environment into the home,
correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On the VR-5700/
VR-5090/VR-5080, when the THX mode is on, the THX technologies
are automatically added after the decoded signal.
Movies which have been encoded in Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, Dolby
Pro Logic, Stereo and Mono can all benefit from activating the THX
technologies. THX should be activated only when watching movies
which were mixed for playback in large movie theater environments.
THX need not be activated for music, movies that were made espe-
cially for television or shows such as sports programming, talk shows,
etc. This is because they were mixed in a small room environment.
•
THX Surround EX: THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is
a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of
Lucasfilm Ltd.
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with
Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra
channel which has been added during the mixing of the program.
This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener
in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right,
surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional
channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind
the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound
localization than ever before.

Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX tech-
nology, when released into the home consumer market may exhibit a
Dolby Digital Surround EX logo on the packaging. A list of movies
created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site at
Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX Surround EX
logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this
new technology in the home.
This product may also engage the "THX Surround EX" mode during
the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital Sur-
round EX encoded. In such case the information delivered to the Sur-
round Back channel will be program dependent and may or may not
be very pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes
of the individual listener.
What are Listen Modes?
•
Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital uses an encode/decode process based
on its theatrical digital surround sound technology. The five main
channels are full-frequency and independent, so sound can completely
envelop you or soar anywhere in the room, just like at the movies.
Compared with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital has more clarity,
greater surround envelopment, and more realistic sound movement
between channels.
Although a full set of speakers (front left and right, center, surround
left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true Dolby Digital
surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital program
sources, even if you connect fewer speakers.
•
Dolby Pro Logic/Dolby Pro Logic II: Dolby Pro Logic reproduces a
surround sound like in a movie theater from Dolby Surround-encoded
program source (videotape or LaserDisc software carrying the Dolby
Surround logo), and features excellent sound movement on the front
and a surrounding atmosphere of movie theaters. Meanwhile, Dolby
Pro Logic II decodes a signal encoded in 2 channels into 5-channel
signals composed of the left/right front signals, center signal and sur-
round left/right signals. If no surround speaker is Setup, the surround
signal is sent to front left and right speakers. (Dolby 3 stereo)
Dolby Pro Logic II is an advanced version of the decoding technology
used with Dolby Pro Logic. It inputs 2-channel signals from a Dolby

Surround-encoded source and reproduces 5-channel signals in which
the surround channel is divided into independent channels for the
left and right. Dolby Pro Logic II has the MOVIE mode and MUSIC
mode, and the MUSIC mode enables independent adjustment of three
parameters including Panorama mode, Dimension and Center Width.
See page 29 for the Dolby Pro Logic II parameters.
To allow the users enjoy multichannel playback also from the analog
audio of currently available Dolby Surround home video software,
the VR-5700/VR-5090/VR-5080 incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic II sur-
round decoder.

Logic", "Surround EX " and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby
Laboratories.
•
DTS : DTS has five full-frequency channels that create effects nearly
identical to those in a theater. Sounds seem to zoom from one place
to another or entirely surround you. Like Dolby Digital, DTS has much-
improved clarity, surround and sound movement capability compared
with Dolby Pro Logic. This listen mode is available on CD, LD, and
DVD media. DTS is a strictly digital format that can be supplied only
by a CD, LD, or DVD player that supports DTS sound. If you attempt
to listen to DTS encoded media through the analog connections to
your new receiver, you will experience digital noise (loud static).
•
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1: Both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1
and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 add the surround back channel audio to the
DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the acoustic positioning and
makes acoustic image movement more natural with the 6.1-channel
reproduction. This receiver incorporates a DTS-ES decoder, which can
handle DTS-ES Discrete-encoded and DTS-ES Matrix-encoded program
sources from DVD, etc.
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete recording of all channels
including the surround back channels and higher quality of audio
reproduction.
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 features matrix encoding of surround back (SB)
signals in the SL/SR signals and decoding of the matrix into the SL, SR
and SB signals during playback.

DTS NEO:6: This is a new technology which decodes 2-channel sig-
nals into 6-channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix tech-
nology. The DTS NEO:6 decoder has near-discrete properties in the
frequency characteristics of the channels as well as in channel separa-
tion. According to the signals to be played back, DTS NEO:6 uses
either the NEO:CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback or the
NEO:MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.
•
•
MPEG: MPEG, which stands for “Moving Pictures Experts Group”, is
an international standard of digital video and audio compression and
decompression in media. It is the most efficient encoding method for
compressed multi-channel audio which provides the highest sound
quality to deliver the best movie theater sound into the home.
DSP (Digital Signal Processing): DSP allows you to create your
own custom surround sound environments and use them with any
source (except Dolby Digital, MPEG, DTS and DTS-ES). You can se-
lect the ambience of an Arena, Jazz Club, Stadium, Cathedral, Theater
or Concert hall, and then modify the parameters to ‘fine-tune’ the envi-
ronment to your taste. (See “Applying Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
Effects” on page 31 for details about making DSP adjustments.)
•
•
Multi ch Music (Multichannel music): All speakers are used to real-
ize a stereo sound with a wide listening range.
Stereo: Stereo listen mode provides standard stereo sound to the front
left and right speakers.
•
You cannot select the Input Analog mode if you are playing DTS-en-
coded media.
•
•
You cannot listen to DTS-encoded media in Zone B.
When playing DTS-encoded media, wait until “DTS” appears on the
receiver display before proceeding.
•
The listen mode is fixed to Stereo during playback of 96k fs signals.

Applying Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Effects
The DSP mode creates the reverberation devices (elements of sound ech-
oed in various spaces) which determine the feeling of presence. Since
DSP uses digital processing, it can produce these effects without soiling
the sound quality of the original music or video source.
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of an Arena, Jazz Club, Ca-
thedral, Concert Hall, Stadium (1, 2) or Theater (1, 2) from any PCM or
analog input source. These modes are particularly effective when used
with stereo program sources like CD, television and FM radio. You might
enjoy trying the CONCERT HALL, STADIUM or ARENA mode the next
time you watch a sporting event or concert.
You can adjust the following elements to create a customized environment:
•
•
•
The WALL TYPE parameter lets you adjust the brightness of the sonic
environment according to your preference.
The ROOM SIZE parameter lets you adjust the size of the sonic envi-
ronment according to your preference.
The EFFECT LEVEL lets you adjust the amount of DSP “presence” in
the sonic environment according to your preference.
Setting a DSP effect
Press the Remote Control unit’s LISTEN M. button or receiver’s LIS-
TEN MODE button repeatedly until the desired listen mode is dis-
played.

HDCD® and D.R.I.V.E. Effects
HDCD is a new format enabling recording with higher quality than pre-
vious CD while maintaining compatibility with it. Although a HDCD-
compatible CD player is usually required to exhibit the full characteris-
tics of the HDCD, this receiver is capable of reproducing high-quality
HDCD signals by connecting a CD player through digital connection,
even if it does not incorporate the HDCD circuitry.
D.R.I.V.E. is a KENWOOD original technology for reproducing signals
with high resolution by instant switching of the internal filters according
to the input signal. This receiver incorporate a high performance DSP to
provide very high resolution from 32-bit DRIVE III circuitry, achieving
stereo audio reproduction with the best quality ever reached.
The D.R.I.V.E. indicator lights when the D.R.I.V.E. circuit is activated.
The HDCD indicator lights when the HDCD circuit is activated and a
HDCD is played.
HDCD and D.R.I.V.E. are designed to be activated automatically to select
the optimum circuit path.
HDCD and D.R.I.V.E. is effective only at the time of digital input stereo,
DSP mode or multi channel music.
Some HDCD-recorded discs do not contain all tracks as HDCD record-
ings. (The HDCD indicator will not light for tracks not recorded as
HDCD.)
HDCD and D.R.I.V.E. is effective only at the time of THX Off mode.

Radio Tuning
Auto:
When a tuning button is pressed, the station with the closest
frequency to the current frequency position will be tuned in
automatically. In this case, the stereo mode is activated auto-
matically when a stereo station is tuned in (FM band only).
Manual: When auto tuning is not available because the radio waves are
weak, tune a radio station by selecting its frequency manually.
The reception is in monaural during manual tuning. The mon-
aural reception can make the sound easier to listen thanks to
less noise than in stereo reception.
Preset tuning :
If you preset (store) radio stations in the receiver, you can tune
into any of them by one-touch operations. Up to 40 stations
can be preset.

If you’re recording from a digital source, any action other than adjust-
ing the volume may cause the sound to “clip” on the recording.
You cannot record from the component you are using to record. For
example, if you’re recording on a VCR connected to the VIDEO1 jacks,
select a source other than Video 1.
•
If your source is a camcorder or other video unit, refer to the instruc-
tion manual for the particular unit you’re recording from.
Digital to Digital Recording:
The PCM digital signal input through any DIGITAL IN jack is output digi-
tally at the digital jack. For more information on this connection, see
“Connecting Your MD Recorder or Primary Tape Deck” on page 22 of
the Connections and Setup Guide.
Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG Multichannel signals cannot be recorded.
Digital to Analog Recording:
While home VCRs can record only two channels of audio, the receiver is
capable of "down-mixing" the multi-channel audio of Dolby Digital, DTS
or MPEG into stereo sound. Down-mixing is available by setting the Digital
Rec mode to “REC MODE: AUTO” or “REC MODE: MANUAL”.
Digital Rec mode:
Digital signals include a variety of signals such as the Dolby Digital, DTS
and PCM signals.
When REC MODE is set to AUTO, digital input signals are automatically
converted into analog stereo signals.
When REC MODE is set to MANUAL, only a specific signal among the
digital signals can be converted into analog stereo signals.
When REC MODE is switched to MANUAL in the middle of reproduc-
tion of a digital audio program, only the digital signal of the type being
reproduced will be converted into analog stereo signals.
When REC MODE is switched to MANUAL while no source is played,
only the PCM signal will be converted into analog stereo signals.

Using Remote Control Unit in Multiple Zones
Using Remote Control Unit in Multiple Zones
The VR-5700/VR-5090/VR-5080 offers dual-zone output and control,
which enables you to use a single receiver to control devices and speak-
ers for 2 zones. Due to its advanced features and controls, you can listen
to music in one zone while a movie plays in the other!
Depending on your tastes and budget, you can set up one of the follow-
ing “sound scenarios” to make full use of the VR-5700/VR-5090/VR-5080’s
capabilities:
No additional amplifier for Zone B: You can use your receiver’s Speaker
B output for Zone B. This allows you to listen to full surround sound in
Zone A only, or in stereo in Zone A when Zone B is active. The sound in
Zone B will always be in stereo.
Stereo amplifier for Zone B: You use an additional stereo amplifier for
Zone B (connected to the receiver’s Second Zone Preouts). This allows
you to hear full surround sound in Zone A even if you are also listening
in Zone B. The sound in Zone B will always be in stereo.
This section covers only multiple-zone operation of the receiver. See Chap-
ter Two for general operating instructions.
How Do I Switch Control Modes?
You can use Remote Control unit to operate your receiver and source
devices from 2 different zones. To do so, you need to switch control modes
to control the devices from each zone.
To make operations from Zone B easier, we recommend that you pur-
chase a second Remote Control unit. That way you can leave one Remote
Control unit in Zone A that is always set up for Zone A operation, and
another Remote Control unit in Zone B that is always set up for Zone B
operation.
Some system control features are not available when the Remote control
unit is set up for multi-zone control.

Chapter Four: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting is how you determine what part of a complex system
(like a home theater system) is at fault when the system isn’t working
how you think it should. When you troubleshoot a system, you diagnose
a problem by examining and eliminating possible causes until there’s
only one left. Troubleshooting is easiest when you start with the most
obvious, most common, and most likely and work from there.
Diagnosing your own problems can save you time and aggravation—the
better you understand how to troubleshoot and adjust your own system,
the less time you have to:
•
•
spend on the phone with a customer service representative
do without your receiver because it’s “in the shop”
There are some basic steps to good troubleshooting:
1. Verify the exact conditions when the problem occurs.
This is the most important step in troubleshooting. Whether you fix
it yourself or have to describe it to a technician, you are much more
likely to really solve the problem if you know the exact circumstances
surrounding the problem. For example, if you don’t hear anything
through the speakers, it’s useful to know if it only happens when you
are listening to CDs. Knowing that eliminates the speakers themselves
as part of the problem. The more you know about when a problem
occurs, the more likely it is that you or the technician can solve it.
2. Check each part of the signal’s path from source (such as a CD
player) to speaker.
You may also want to test the assumptions you made in step 1: maybe
you haven’t listened to your MD recorder in a while— is there no
sound from it as well? This step will really help narrow down the
possible causes. Test all your connected components and eliminate
the ones where the problem doesn’t occur. When you’re done with
this step, you’ll probably have found the problem.

3. Go over all component connections slowly and methodically.
Double-check the settings on your remote.
Wrong or loose connections are the most likely cause of the most
common home entertainment problem: no sound. Use the Connec-
tion and Setup Guide to double-check your connections for each com-
ponent. This is especially important with VCRs, tape decks, MD re-
corders, and equalizers, where it’s very easy to swap the “play” and
“record” connections.
For the VR-5700/VR-5090/VF-5080, you should also check your Re-
mote Control unit settings carefully. Did you set the input to the cor-
rect component? (you can also check the front panel of the receiver)
Are you trying to listen to an analog source using a digital connec-
tion?
4. Cables (especially old ones) go bad more frequently than com-
ponents do.
Always suspect the cable before its component. For one thing, it’s easier
to test: simply swap the cable with one connected to a component
you know is working. If the problem component works now, it was
the cable. You can generally purchase new cables at most home elec-
tronics stores, or via the Internet.
5. User error is more likely than component failure.
You probably don’t want to hear this, but it’s true. Use this manual to
go over the steps to operate the receiver. Refer to the other compo-
nents’ manuals as well.
6. Instruction manuals are your friend.
A good rule of thumb is to check the manual when something doesn’t
work how you expected it to. If you read the manual before calling
the store or taking the component back, you may find the solution to
your problem much more quickly.
The rest of this chapter presents some common problems, grouped by
type, and the steps you can take to resolve them.

•
The proper surround play mode (Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic
II, DSP, MPEG, DTS NEO:6, DTS, DTS-ES or Dolby Digital) has been
selected. See “What are Listen Modes?” on page 18 of this manual.
•
All of the speaker wires are connected tightly. See Chapter One of the
Connections and Setup Guide.
I can hear sound only from the center speaker when Dolby Pro
Logic is selected
Check that the program (e.g., TV show, radio station, VCR tape) is in
stereo. Programs in mono play only through the center speaker when the
receiver is in the Dolby Pro Logic listen mode.
A DTS-ES encoded source is played but it is not decoded in DTS-ES.

Sound
A Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded source is played with THX
Surround EX set to “Auto”, but the source is not reproduced in 6.1-
channel audio.
•
Some encoded sources (discs) do not contain the recording of the
encoding identification signal. To reproduce such sources in 6.1-chan-
nel audio, set THX Surround EX to ON. See “To set the THX Mode”
on page 24 of this manual.
Sound from one (or more) of my components is abnormally loud
or soft
Adjust the analog input level for that component: See “Adjusting the In-
put Level” on page 15 of this manual.
I can’t hear sound from some of my laser discs
Check that the disc contains a digital soundtrack (the disc’s cover will
bear a “digital sound” logo). Some older laser discs contain only analog
soundtracks. If the disc does not have a digital soundtrack, change the
input type to Analog. See “Switching Input Modes” on page 23 of this
manual and also read the manual of your laser disc player.
There wasn’t any sound recorded on tapes made on my VCR or
tape deck
Check that:
•
•
The audio cables are connected properly for the component.
The source is connected via an analog jack set . See Chapter One of
the Connections and Setup Guide.
•
Analog has been set as the input mode. Digital inputs such as Dolby
Digital, DTS or MPEG need to be downmixed into two channels for
recording to analog media (such as VHS or audio tape). See “Digital
to Analog Recording” on page 48.
The initial sound is intermittent or non-existent when I start to
play from a Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS-ES or MPEG source
•
Some DVD players simply have intermittent start-up sound.
•

Sound / Video
With a Dolby Digital program or DTS program, the loud sounds
aren’t very loud and the quiet sounds aren’t very quiet
Check that volume extremes are not automatically being balanced. See
“Midnight Theater Function” on page 16 of this manual.
All I hear is loud static when I play DTS discs
•
Check that Digital has been set as the input mode. DTS discs do not
output analog sound. See “Switching Input Modes” on page 23.
•
DTS discs can only be played in Zone A
I hear a hum when I select the PHONO input
Check that:
•
•
The audio cables are connected securely to the Phono jack set. See
Chapter One of the Connections and Setup Guide.
The turntable is grounded on the receiver. See Chapter One of the
Connections and Setup Guide.
Sound is intermittent
Attach the provided protective cap to the unused OPTICAL inputs. If the
light from a fluorescent lamp or direct sunlight enters through this con-
nector, the played audio will be intermittent.
I can’t hear any sound in Zone B
Check that:
•
•
Multiple Zones is activated.
The volume in Zone B is turned up. See “Operating Devices in Zone
B?” on page 55 of this manual.
•
•
The Zone B speakers are turned on if using Speaker B outputs for
Zone B (as opposed to Second Zone Pre Outs). See “Turning the Speak-
ers On” on page 9 of this manual.
The source is connected via an analog jack set (digital inputs are not
sent to Zone B). See Chapter One of the Connections and Setup Guide.
Video
I can’t see the program I’m playing on the TV. There wasn’t any
video output to my VCR when I recorded

Video/Remote Control unit
•
•
Check that the correct video input on the TV is selected.
Check that the video software you record does not have copy guard
protection.
•
All Zone B inputs must be composite. S-Video is not supported in
Zone B.
Remote Control unit
My Remote Control unit is slow to respond—sometimes I have to
press buttons or select commands several times
•
If Remote Control unit is in sleep mode (the screen is blank), the first
button press “wakes it up”. The second press performs the action.
•
Your Remote Control unit supports 2-way communication with the
receiver. If the 2-way communication indicator on the front of the
receiver is lit, Remote Control unit is receiving information. It cannot
transmit your new command until it is finished receiving informa-
tion from the receiver.
My Remote Control unit is not responding
•
•
•
•
•
Make sure you are within the operating range for Remote Control
unit. See “Remote controllable range” on page 7 of this manual.
Replace the batteries. See Chapter Two of the Connections and Setup
Guide.
If you’re using an IR receiver, make sure it is connected properly and
turned on. See Chapter four of the Connections and Setup Guide.
Check the contrast of the LCD display is adjusted properly. See “How
Do I Adjust the LCD Display” on page 50.
When the RF ON/OFF (INPUT MODE) button is pressed for 2 sec-
onds or longer, “RF OFF” will be displayed. In this condition, the
main unit can not receive remote control signals. Press the RF ON/
OFF (INPUT MODE) button again for at least 2 seconds to display
"RF ON". See page 49 of the Connections and Setup Guide.

Receiver/Tuner
I want to clear all the items in Remote Control unit and make it to
the factory-set default condition.
1. Remove the batteries.
2. While holding the
(function up) button and
button
simultaneously, load the batteries.
After the above, all settings are reset to the factory settings.
The RF remote control function does not work.
•
Connect the antenna. See page 33 of the Connections and Setup Guide.
•
Make sure that the correct RF band is selected. See page 43 of the
Connections and Setup Guide.
•
•
The operation range of the Remote Control unit will be influenced
according to the material of the obstacles between the Remote Con-
trol unit and the receiver. Please confirm that there is no such influ-
ence.
Make sure that no interference from electrical appliances occurs.
Receiver/Tuner
My receiver won’t turn on and the STANDBY indicator is flashing
Your receiver is in the “protection” mode.
Check that:
•
The speaker system’s impedance is not too low. See Chapter One of
the Connections and Setup Guide.
•
The speaker wires are not short-circuited. Test the wires as follows to
find the shorted wire and replace it:
1 Turn off the receiver, disconnect the positive and negative speaker
wires of the RIGHT FRONT speaker from the receiver, and turn
the receiver back on.
2 If the STANDBY indicator stops flashing, replace this wire.
3 If the STANDBY indicator does not stop flashing, turn off the re-
ceiver, reconnect the speaker wires, and repeat the first step for the
next speaker.
4 Continue until you have isolated and replaced the shorted wire.
5 See Chapter One of the Connections and Setup Guide.

Receiver/Tuner
If none of the above solutions work, reset the microprocessor:
1. Turn the receiver off.
2. Unplug the receiver.
3. Plug it back in while pressing and holding the Power switch (you may
need someone else to help you do this)
• The component set as input (Tuner is selected by default)—see
“How Do I Operate Devices?” on page 36 of this manual.
• The volume setting (-48dB is selected by default)—see “Adjusting
the Volume” on page 10 of this manual
• The tuner’s receiving band (FM is selected by default)— see “Ra-
dio Tuning” on page 44 of this manual
• The tuner’s frequency (87.5MHz is selected by default)— see “Ra-
dio Tuning” on page 44 of this manual
• The tuner’s preset memory—you will need to reset your stored
radio stations (see “Presetting radio stations” on page 45 of this
manual)
• The surround setting—see “What are Listen Modes?” on page 18
of this manual
• The speaker settings—you will need to reset your speaker settings
( see Chapter Two of the Connections and Setup Guide)
Reset the cleared settings before operating the receiver again.
The sound is distorted, and the CLIP indicator on the receiver’s
front panel flashes red continually, or stays red for more than 1
second at a time
Lower the analog input level for the source component you’re listening
to. (Setting the proper input level eliminates distortion that occurs if a
source component’s output level is too high. When this happens, the
front panel CLIP indicator will flash red continually or remain red for
periods of 1 second or longer. Occasional brief flashing of the CLIP indi-
cator is okay). Adjust the analog input level for that component: See “Ad-
justing the Input level” on page 15 of this manual.

Receiver/Tuner
I can’t receive a radio station
Check that:
•
•
•
The appropriate antenna is connected. See Chapter One of the Con-
nections and Setup Guide.
The broadcast band is correct. See “Radio Tuning” on page 44 of
this manual.
The tuner is set to the correct frequency. See “Radio Tuning” on
page 44 of this manual.
I’m getting a lot of static/interference
•
Check whether the receiver or antenna is too close to a TV or other
electrical appliance.
•
•
Adjust the antenna for best reception.
If you live in an area with weak FM signals, consider a rooftop FM
antenna (available at any home electronics store).
When I press a button to tune to a preset station, the receiver
does not respond
Check whether:
•
The receiver has been unplugged for more than three days. If it has,
your settings were cleared from the receiver’s memory. See “My re-
ceiver won’t turn on and the STANDBY indicator is flashing” on
page 76 of this manual.
•
The Tuner input is selected. See “Radio Tuning” on page 44 of this
manual.
