Problems and remedies (continued)
Tuner
There is severe hum or noise (“ TUNED” or
“STEREO” flashes).
•Set the proper band and frequency (see page 13).
•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.
•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 23 and check the condition of the system.
•Connect the component properly (see page 21) while checking:
•Turn on the connected component.
•Refer to the operating instructions included with the connected component and start playing.
•Press FUNCTION repeatedly until “ PC” (or “ MD” or “ TAPE” ) appears.
The sound is distorted.
•Set the volume of the connected component lower.
•The external input may be excessively large. Set the external function to “ MD” (see page 22).
If the system still does not operate properly after performing the above measures, reset the system as follows:
With the system turned on, press Z, TUNER/ BAND and FUNCTION at the same time.
“COLD RESET” appears and the system turns off. The system is reset to the factory settings. All the settings you made are cleared. Be sure to restore all necessary settings.
Note
You cannot reset the system in the Power Saving Mode.
