When the self-diagnosis function is activated to
prevent the system from malfunctioning, a 5-
character service number (e.g., C 13 50) with a
combination of a letter and 4 digits appears on
the screen and the front panel display. In this
case, check the following table.
When displaying the version
number on the screen
When you turn on the system, the version
number [VER.X.XX] (X is a number) may
appear on the screen. Although this is not a
malfunction and for Sony service use only,
normal system operation will not be possible.
Turn off the system, and then turn on the system
again to operate.
