7. Probleemoplossing

Als u problemen ondervindt met uw systeem, raadpleeg dan de volgende veelvoorkomende problemen en oplossingen:

ProbleemMogelijke oorzaak / oplossing
Geen geluid of onderbroken geluid
  • Ensure all speaker wires are securely connected to the correct terminals.
  • Controleer of de juiste invoerbron op de ontvanger is geselecteerd.
  • Check that the volume is not muted or set too low.
  • If using HDMI, ensure you are using high-speed HDMI cables.
  • If experiencing frequent sound drop-outs with a cable box connected via HDMI, try connecting the cable box to your TV directly via HDMI and then sending audio from the TV to the receiver via optical or coaxial audio cables.
Echo effect or distorted sound
  • Mute your television's internal speakers. The sound should only come from the home theater system.
  • Ensure the TV volume is set to 0.
Loud fan noise from receiver
  • Zorg ervoor dat de ontvanger voldoende ventilatie heeft en niet in een afgesloten ruimte staat.
  • Verwijder al het stof uit de ventilatieopeningen.
Audio delay or lag when switching sources/pausing
  • This is a known characteristic of some systems. You may need to rewind content slightly after pausing or switching sources to catch the beginning of the audio.

  • Access the system's setup menu via the remote control to adjust the volume level of individual speakers (front, center, surround, subwoofer).
No 5.1 audio for certain games (e.g., PS3)
  • Check the audio output settings on your game console (e.g., PlayStation 3). You may need to uncheck 5.1 options or adjust the digital audio output format.
