Recording cannot be carried out.

•Check that the components are connected correctly (page 24).

•Select the source component using INPUT SELECTOR (page 47).

Tuner

The FM reception is poor.

•Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna (aerial) as shown below. If you connect the receiver to an outdoor antenna (aerial), ground it against lightning. To prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the ground (earth) wire to a gas pipe.

Radio stations cannot be tuned in.

•Check that the antennas (aerials) are connected securely. Adjust the antennas (aerials) and connect an external antenna (aerial), 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 80).

•Press DISPLAY so that the frequency appears on the display.

RDS does not work.

•Make sure that you are 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.

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.

•Make sure that the command modes of the receiver and the remote are the same. If the command mode of the receiver and the remote are different, you cannot operate the receiver with the remote (page 37).

•Make sure you select the correct input on the remote.

•When you operate a programmed non- Sony component, the remote may not function properly depending on the model and the maker of the component.
