Troubleshooting

Problems and remedies

Should you encounter a problem with your

system, do the following:

Make sure the power cord and speaker

cords are correctly and firmly connected.

Find your problem in the troubleshooting

checklist below and take the indicated

corrective action.

If the problem persists after doing all of the

above, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

When the ?/1 indicator flashes

Immediately unplug the power cord and check

the following items.

• Is the voltage selector set to the correct

voltage? Check the voltage for your region,

then make sure the voltage selector is set

correctly.

• Are the + and – speaker cords short-circuited?

• Are you using only the prescribed speakers?

• Is anything blocking the ventilation holes on

the rear of the system?

After checking the above items and fixing any

problems, connect the power cord again and turn

on the system. If the ?/1 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.
