Troubleshooting

If a problem should arise, first check the following:

Are the connections correct?
Is the set being operated as described in the owner’s manual?
Are the other devices operating properly?

If steps 1 to 3 above do not improve the problem, restarting the device may improve the problem.
Continue pressing the Power Button button on the unit until “Restart” appears in the display, or remove and re-insert the power cord of the unit.

If this unit does not operate properly, check the corresponding symptoms in this section.

If the symptoms do not match any of those described here, consult your dealer as it could be due to a fault in this unit. In this case, disconnect the power immediately and contact the store where you purchased this unit.

The protection circuit has been activated due to a rise in temperature within this unit. Turn the power off, wait about an hour until this unit cools down sufficiently, and then turn the power on again.

Please re-install this unit in a place having good ventilation.

Check the speaker connections. The protection circuit may have been activated because speaker cable core wires came in contact with each other or a core wire was disconnected from the connector and came in contact with the rear panel of this unit. After unplugging the power cord, take corrective action such as firmly re-twisting the core wire or taking care of the connector, and then reconnect the wire.

Turn down the volume and turn on the power again.

This unit’s amplifier circuit has failed. Unplug the power cord and contact our customer service center.
