Tuner
There is severe hum or noise (“TUNED” or
“STEREO” flashes).
• Set the proper band and frequency (see page 36).
• Connect the antenna properly (see page 6).
• Find a place and an orientation that provide good
reception, then set up the antenna again.
If you cannot obtain good reception, we
recommend you connect a commercially
available external antenna.
• The supplied antenna receives signals along its
entire length, so make sure you extend it fully.
• Locate the antennas as far away from the speaker
cords as possible.
• Consult your nearest Sony dealer if the supplied
AM antenna wire has come off the plastic stand.
• Try turning off surrounding electrical equipment.
A stereo FM program cannot be received in
stereo.
• Press FM MODE on the remote until “MONO”
disappears from the display.
• See “There is severe hum or noise (“TUNED” or
“STEREO” flashes)”, and check the antenna
condition.
Cyclical static noise is heard while recording on
an MD.
• Adjust the antenna orientation and position until
the noise stops.
Troubleshooting (continued)
The sound skips.
• Replace the MD.
• Try moving the system to a place without
vibration (e.g., on top of a stable stand).
• Try moving the speakers away from the system,
or placing them on separate stands.
When you listen to a track with bass sounds at
high volume, the speaker vibration may cause the
sound to skip.
• Load the disc and wait for 10 to 20 minutes with
the system turned on.
Play does not start from the first track.
• Press PLAY MODE on the remote repeatedly
until “PROGRAM” or “SHUFFLE” disappears
to return to normal play.
“—OVER—” appears.
• Press and hold m or press . to return to the
desired playing position.
“OVER” lights up during recording.
• Set the volume of the connected component
lower.
Recording or editing was done, but the TOC is
not updated.
• MD recording and editing contents are recorded
to the MD when the MD is removed, so make
sure you remove the MD after recording or
editing (see pages 18 and 26).
Recording is not possible.
• Remove the MD and slide the tab to close the
slot (see page 18).
• Connect the optional A/V component properly
(see page 43).
• Switch to another sound source.
• Replace the MD with a recordable MD, or use
Erase Function to erase unnecessary tracks (see
page 29).
The sound from an MD you recorded is too low
(or too high).
• Readjust the recording level (see page 26 or 34).
