Troubleshooting and error codes

Problem	Remedy
Can't operate the remote control.	• Replace the batteries (see Putting the batteries in the remote control on page 9). • Operate within 23 ft. / 7 m, 30° of the remote sensor on the front panel (see Using the remote control on page 9). • Remove any obstacles or operate from another position. • Avoid exposing the remote sensor on the front panel to direct light.
Timer indicator is blinking and the system will not switch on.	• Unplug the system, then plug back in. Wait for one minute then switch on. • Make sure the fan at the rear of the system unit is not being blocked. • Check that the speakers are connected correctly. • Make sure the voltage of the mains power source is correct for the model. • If the problem persists, take it to your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for servicing.
DVD/CD/Video CD player: The disc is ejected automatically after loading.	• Clean the disc. • Align the disc properly in the disc guide. • If the region number on a DVD-video disc does not match the number on the system unit, the disc cannot be used (see DVD Video regions on page 74).
Playback is not possible.	• Allow time for any condensation inside the system unit to evaporate. Avoid using the system near an air-conditioning unit. • If the disc is loaded upside down, reload the disc with the label side face up.
Picture playback stops and the operation buttons cannot be used.	• Press (stop), then (play) to start playback again. • Switch the power off once, then on again using the front panel STANDBY/ON button.
Settings are canceled.	• When the power is cut due to power failure or by unplugging the power cable, settings will be canceled.
No picture/No color.	• Check that connections are correct and that plugs are inserted fully. • Check the instruction manual of the TV/monitor to make sure the TV/monitor settings are incorrect.
Screen is stretched or aspect does not change.	• The TV Screen setting is incorrect. Set the TV Screen option to match the TV/monitor you're using (see TV Screen on page 66).
When recorded on a VCR or passed through an AV selector, there is disturbance in the playback picture.	• This system uses copy-protection technology which may prevent recording or cause picture problems when connected through a VCR or AV selector. This is not a malfunction.
Picture disturbance during playback or dark.	• This system is compatible with Macro-Vision System copy guard. Some discs include a copy prevention signal, and when this type of disc is played back, stripes etc., may appear on some sections of the picture depending on the TV. This is not a malfunction. • Discs respond differently to particular system functions. This may result in the screen becoming black for a brief instant or shaking slightly when the function is executed. These problems are largely due to differences between discs and disc content and are not malfunctions of this system.
Noticeable difference in DVD and CD volume.	• DVDs and CDs use different recording methods. This is not a malfunction.
WMA/MP3/JPEG discs: CD-ROM disc is not recognized by the system.	• Make sure that the CD-ROM was recorded using the ISO 9660 disc format. See Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 10 for other disc compatibility information.
Files don't show up in the Disc Navigator/Photo Browser.	• The files on the disc must be named with the correct file extention: .mp3 for MP3 files; .wma for WMA files; .jpg for JPEG files (upper or lower-case is OK). See Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 10 for other disc compatibility information.
JPEG files appear, but MP3 and WMA files don't show up.	• Set the PhotoViewer menu option in the Initial Settings menu to Off to be able to access the WMA/MP3 files. See PhotoViewer on page 72.
Tuner: Auto tuning does not pick up some stations.	• The radio signal is weak. Auto tuning will only detect radio stations with a good signal. For more sensitive tuning, connect an outdoor antenna.
Sound is mono only.	• Check that the tuner is not set to FM mono (see Improving poor FM reception on page 35).
Considerable noise in radio broadcasts.	• Tune into the correct frequency. • Connect the antenna (see Connecting the supplied antennas on page 18 and Connecting external antennas on page 77). • Fully extend the FM wire antenna, position for best reception, and secure to a wall. • Connect an outdoor FM antenna (see Connecting external antennas on page 77). • Adjust the direction and position for best reception. • Connect an additional internal or external AM antenna (see AM loop antenna on page 18 and Connecting external antennas on page 77). • Turn off any other equipment that may be causing the noise or move it away from the system unit. • The tuning interval is incorrect for your country or region. Try switching the tuning interval (frequency step) (see Changing the frequency step on page 73).
Error Messages: Child Lock	• This message appears when the front panel buttons are pressed when the child lock feature is active. See Child Lock on page 73 for more on switching on/off the child lock.
Rec Mode On	• Blinks rapidly for 2 seconds when an operation is prohibited because the Recording Mode is on (see Recording mode on page 78).
Phones In	• Blinks rapidly for 2 seconds when an operation is prohibited because headphones are connected.
96K Stereo	• Blinks rapidly for 2 seconds when an operation is prohibited because the source is digital 88.2 or 96kHz PCM.
No Surr. SP	• Blinks rapidly for 2 seconds when an operation is prohibited because there is no surround speaker output.
Muting	• Blinks rapidly for 2 seconds when an operation is prohibited because the sound is muted (see Muting the sound on page 41).
