Should you encounter a problem with your speaker system, check the following list and take the indicated measures. If the problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

There is no sound from the speaker system.

•Make sure all the connections have been correctly made.

•Make sure the volume on the amplifier has been turned up properly.

•Make sure the program source selector on the amplifier is set to the proper source.

•Check if headphones are connected. If they are, disconnect them.

There is distortion in the subwoofer sound output.

•Make sure the cut-off frequency on the subwoofer set to the maximum level

(200 Hz) when Dolby Digital (AC-3) is on (SA-VE305 only).

•Check if any sound-enhancing functions have been activated on the amplifier. If they have, turn them off.

The sound has suddenly stopped.

•Make sure all the connections have been correctly made. Contact between bear speaker wires at the speaker terminals may cause a short-circuit.
