The FM reception is poor.
• Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to
connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna as
shown below. If you connect the receiver to an
outdoor antenna, ground it against lightning. To
prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the ground
wire to a gas pipe.
Radio stations cannot be tuned in.
• Check that the antennas are connected securely.
Adjust the antennas and connect an external
antenna if necessary.
• The signal strength of the stations is too weak
(when tuning in with automatic tuning). Use direct
tuning.
• Make sure you set the tuning interval correctly
(when tuning in AM stations with direct tuning).
• No stations have been preset or the preset stations
have been cleared (when tuning by scanning
preset stations). Preset the stations (page 23).
• Press DISPLAY so that the frequency appears in
the display.
RDS does not work.*
• Make sure that you’re tuned to an FM RDS
station.
• Select a stronger FM station.
The RDS information that you want does not
appear.*
• Contact the radio station and find out whether or
not they actually provide the service in question.
If so, the service may be temporarily out of order.
There is no picture or an unclear picture
appears on the TV screen or monitor.
• Select the appropriate input on the receiver.
• Set your TV to the appropriate input mode.
• Move your TV away from the audio components.
The DIGITAL OPTICAL MD OUT jack flashes
red.
• When “AUTO IN” is selected for INPUT MODE,
the jack flashes red when no digital audio signal is
input. This is dependent on the INPUT MODE
function, and is not a malfunction.
Remote control
The remote does not function.
• Point the remote at the remote sensor on the
receiver.
• Remove any obstacles in the path between the
remote and the receiver.
• Replace all the batteries in the remote with new
ones, if they are weak.
• Check if the command modes of the receiver and
the remote is the same. If the command mode of
the receiver and the remote is different, you
cannot operate the receiver with the remote. To
switch the command mode of the receiver, press
?/1 to turn off the power. Then, press ?/1 while
pressing INPUT MODE. Each tine you press
?/1, the command mode switches between
“C.MODE. AV2” and “C.MODE. AV1”. (The
initial setting is “C.MODE. AV2”.)
• Make sure you select the correct input on the
remote.
* Models of area code CEL, CEK only.
Error messages
If there is a malfunction, the display shows a
code of two numbers and a message. You can
check the condition of the system by the
message. Refer to the following table to solve
the problem. If any problem persists, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
DEC. EROR
Appears when the signal which the receiver cannot
decode (ex. DTS-CD) is input when
“DEC. XXXX”
is set to
“DEC. PCM”. Set to “DEC. AUTO”.
PROTECT
Irregular current is output from the speakers. Turn
off the receiver, check the speaker connection and
turn on the power again. If this problem persists,
turn off the receiver and consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
