Before starting ARC operation
When starting ARC operation, put the TV and this unit in
STANDBY mode after connecting this unit with the TV. Next,
turn ON the power of this unit and then the TV, in this order.
In order to start ARC operation, after connecting this unit to
a TV with an HDMI cable, you will need to switch the input on
the TV to the input mode required to connect to this unit.
Then, you can select a TV program.
Important
The ARC function may not operate even if the above
conditions are met. If this is the case, listen to the TV
audio after connecting this unit and the TV with an audio
cable.
The CEC (Consumer Electronic Control) function may
activate when the ARC function is turned ON, causing
power to turn ON and OFF and the input to switch from
one to another. Since this unit does not guarantee
synchronized operation based on the CEC function, we
recommend that you turn OFF the HDMI CONTROL
setting on the connected player. This unit may not
operate properly if the HDMI CONTROL on the player is
ON. Refer to the relevant device's instruction manual for
details. If this does not work, turn OFF the ARC function.
If this is the case, listen to the TV audio after connecting
this unit and the TV with an audio cable.
In addition, this unit does not guarantee synchronized
operation that allows the TV remote control to operate the
volume (including mute). Use this unit to operate the
volume (including mute).
Turn OFF the power and remove the power cord from the
wall socket when connecting other devices or making
connection changes to this unit. After all connections are
completed, insert the power cord into the wall socket.
If the power cord is connected when the ARC function is
ON, the HDMI will take 2 to 10 seconds to initialize. This
unit cannot be operated during the initialization. During
initialization, the HDMI indicator on the display will blink.
Turn ON the unit after blinking stops.

When is my volume too loud?

A volume above 80 decibels can be harmful to hearing. When the volume exceeds 120 decibels, direct damage can even occur. The chance of hearing damage depends on the listening frequency and duration.

What is HDMI?

HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. An HDMI cable is used to transport audio and video signals between devices.

How can I best clean my receiver?

A slightly damp cleaning cloth or soft, dust-free cloth works best to remove fingerprints. Dust in hard-to-reach places is best removed with compressed air.

Wat is Dolby Atmos?

Dolby Atmos is a technology that ensures that the sound is reflected from the ceiling to where you are listening. This makes it possible to create a 5.1 effect with only 1 speaker.

Why is the sound distorted or too quiet when playing audio through the receiver?

Connect the HDMI output of your TV or cable/satellite box to the HDMI input on the receiver. Then, connect your speakers to the receiver. Use the receiver's input selector to choose the appropriate HDMI input for your desired device. Adjust the volume levels as needed.

My remote control is not working with the receiver. What should I do?

First, make sure the batteries in the remote control are fresh and properly inserted. If that doesn't solve the issue, try pointing the remote directly at the receiver's sensor and ensure that there are no obstructions between them. Additionally, check the receiver's settings to ensure that the remote control function is enabled.

How do I calibrate the speakers for optimal audio performance?
