When the ?/1 indicator flashes
Immediately unplug the power cord and
check the following items.
• Are the + and – speaker cords short-
circuited?
• Are you using the supplied speakers?
• Is anything blocking the ventilation holes
on the rear of the system?
Check all the above items and fix any
problems found. After ?/1 indicator stops

on the system. If the 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.
