Note
If the unit does not operate properly even after attempting
the prescribed remedies or other problems occur, try the
following:
(1) Turn off the power, turn it on again. If the unit still does
not work, (2) turn off the power with the POWER switch,
then reinsert the plug into the power outlet and turn the
power on again. If the unit still does not work, (3) turn off
the power with the POWER switch, then turn it on while
holding down TAPE MONITOR and VIDEO 2 on the front
panel. Please note, however, that this remedy will erase all
data recorded in the unit.
Note (STR-DE805G only)
When the receiver is placed in an audio rack (etc.) with a
glass front, the pointer may click the on-screen button
repeatedly, instead of holding it down, even though you are
holding down the button on the remote control (e.g., during
forward search while playing a video, etc.). This
phenomenon is a result of interference between the IR
repeater and receptor on the front panel. It is not a
malfunction. If this occurs, try connecting the supplied IR
repeater and placing it in an appropriate position.
