When I switch between analog and digital channels on my cable television set-top box, the picture distorts, but I have no problems when using other sources. How can I resolve the problem?

Please check the picture settings on your cable box, particularly the aspect ratio settings, which will vary depending on the brand and model of your cable box and on your local cable provider. You may wish to consult with your cable provider for more information on how to adjust the cable box's settings. Some settings, such as a setting to force an analog channel's native 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:9 widescreen to fit your display, may interfere with the cable system's copy-protection feature and cause distortion.

Why doesn't the AVR respond when I use the remote control, even though my other products work just fine?

The remote is only capable of operating one device at a time (unless you have programmed advanced functions such as Volume, Channel or Transport control Punch-Through). When you press the Source Selector to operate your other product, such as the DVD player, the remote cannot control any other product, including the AVR, until you press the AVR Button again. To avoid your problem in the future, always press the AVR Button or appropriate Source Selector before you enter any command.
