Troubleshooting
Problems and remedies
When the ?/1 indicator flashes
Immediately unplug the power cord and
check the following items.
• Are the system control cables connected
correctly?

circuited?
• Are you using the supplied speakers?
• Is anything blocking the ventilation holes
on the rear of the unit?
After checking the above items and fixing
any problems, plug in the power cord again
and turn on the system. If the ?/1
indicator
still flashes, or if the cause of the problem
cannot be found even after checking all the
above items, consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
