One of the unit's safety devices may have been activated.
Press the unit on/off button to the [] position.
* If the unit does not switch to standby, disconnect the AC mains lead, wait for at least 3 minutes, then reconnect it.
Press the unit on/off button to the [] position. If the unit still cannot be operated, consult the dealer.
Check the volume of this unit and the connected device.
Check connections to speakers and other equipment.
Connect speakers and measure the output signal of the amplifier.
Check the impedance of the connected speakers.
Check to see if the correct input source is selected.
Insert the plugs of the cables to be connected all the way in.
Confirm the sound output setting. (Sound is not output from the speakers connected to the speaker output terminals of this unit while "PRE OUT" is set to "Off".)
Sound is not output from headphones jack and REC OUT/PRE OUT terminals.
Playback of multi-channel content is not supported.
The digital audio input terminals of this unit can only detect linear PCM signals. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the device.
Set "LAPC Mode" to "Low Latency". The performance may be improved.
"Normal": Emphasis on sound quality
"Low Latency": Emphasis on video/audio synchronisation (Emphasis on low latency)
The factory default is "Normal".
Select "LINE1" as input source and then start measuring. While the digital audio input source (COAX1/COAX2/OPT1/OPT2/PC1/PC2) is selected, it may not be measured correctly depending on the status of input signal.
Setting "Attenuator"/"Gain" to "On" according to the analogue audio input may minimise the sound distortion.
When using the high output MC type cartridge, MM setting may be recommended. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the cartridge. If MM setting is recommended, set "MM/MC" to "MM" of analogue audio input (PHONO). It may improve. Also, set "Cartridge Optimiser" again with "MM". However, cannot set to "MM" when using PHONO-XLR cable. When setting to "MM", use the analogue audio cable.
This unit incorporates a protection circuit to prevent damage caused by heat buildup. When you use this unit at a high volume level for a long period of time, it may turn off automatically. Wait for this unit to cool down before turning on this unit again. (For approximately 3 minutes)

Wait a few seconds and then turn the unit on again. (The protection circuit will be deactivated.)
The measurement or processing of "Cartridge Optimiser" fails. Make the following checks.
"High Level (C21)" / "High Level (C22)":
The output signal is so noisy or the output signal level of turntable is too high. Remove the dust from the record. Confirm the setting of "Gain" and adjust the input level of this unit.
Check if "MM/MC" setting of this unit matches the cartridge type of the turntable or not.
"Low Level (C11)" / "Low Level (C12)" / "Low Level (C13)":
The record is not played back, or the output signal level of turntable is too low. Confirm the turntable is connected correctly and the record is played back properly.
Confirm the setting of "Gain" and adjust the input level of this unit.
Check if "MM/MC" setting of this unit matches the cartridge type of the turntable or not.
"Low Quality (C31)" / "Low Quality (C32)" / "Low Quality (C33)":
The output signal of turntable is so noisy. Remove the dust from the record. Or play another track. If the problem still persists, consult your dealer.
"Speed Mismatch":
Rotation per minute (RPM) is incorrect. Adjust the rotation of turntable and play back in correct RPM.
"System Error":
It may be system error. Consult your dealer.
Sound is not output from headphones jack and speaker output terminals when the headphones are connected and "MAIN IN" is selected as input source of this unit.
"COAX1", "COAX2", "OPT1", "OPT2", "PC1" or "PC2" is selected, but no device is connected.
