Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Remedy |
| The power does not turn on, or switches off suddenly (an error message may be displayed at startup). | Wait for one minute before switching back on. • Make sure there are no loose strands of wire touching the unit. This could cause the system to shut off automatically. • Check that the speakers are connected correctly. • Make sure the voltage of the mains power source is correct for the model. • Try reducing the volume level. • If the problem persists, take it to your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for servicing. |
| No sound is output when a function is selected. | • If you're using the line input, make sure the component is connected correctly (see Connecting auxiliary audio components on page 33). • Press MUTE on the remote control to turn muting off. • Turn up the volume. |
| No sound from surround or center speakers. | Refer to Channel level setting on page 27 to check the speaker levels. • When TUNER is selected, you can only hear the source in stereo. • Check that you haven't selected the AUTO, STEREO or VIRTUAL mode (see Listening to your system on page 15). • Connect the speakers properly (refer to the Setup Guide). • If the source is 96 kHz, it will be played in stereo. |
| Can't operate the remote control. | Replace the batteries (refer to the Setup Guide). • Operate within 7 m, 30° of the remote sensor (refer to the Setup Guide). • Remove any obstacles or operate from another position. • Avoid exposing the remote sensor on the front panel to direct light. • Check that there's nothing mistakenly plugged into the CONTROL IN jack. • If the system is connected to a Pioneer plasma television with an SR+ cable, check that the plasma television is switched on. Point the remote control at the plasma television in order to operate the system. • To operate other Pioneer components, make sure that the control cable and analog audio cable are connected. |
