Troubleshooting
Tuner
There is severe hum or noise (“TUNED” or
“STEREO” flashes).
• Set the proper band and frequency (see page 16).
• Connect the antenna properly (see page 7).
• 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 FM wire 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.
Optional components
There is no sound.
• Refer to General item “There is no sound.” on
page 24 and check the condition of the system.
• Connect the component properly (see page 22)
while checking:
– if the cords are connected properly.
– if the cord plugs are firmly inserted all the way.
• Turn on the connected component.
• Refer to the operating instructions included with
the connected component and start playing.
• Press FUNCTION repeatedly until “MD” (or
“TAPE”) appears in the display.
The sound is distorted.
• Set the volume of the connected component
lower.
If the system still does not operate
properly after performing the above
measures, reset the system as
follows:
With the system turned on, press DISPLAY,
TUNER/BAND and FUNCTION at the same
time.
“COLD RESET” appears in the display and the
