Troubleshooting (continued)

To connect an LD player via an RF demodulator

•Connect the LD player to the RF demodulator, then connect the RF demodulator’s optical or coaxial digital output to the receiver’s DVD/LD OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL jack. When making this connection, be sure to set INPUT MODE manually (see page 27). The receiver may not operate correctly if INPUT MODE is set to AUTO 2CH.

For details on DOLBY DIGITAL RF hookups, see the operating instructions supplied with your RF demodulator.

The FM reception is poor.

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

Radio stations cannot be tuned in.

•Check that the antennas are connected securely. Adjust the antennas and connect an external antenna 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 (see page 45).

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

There is no picture or an unclear picture appears on the TV screen or monitor.

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.

•If the receiver’s COMMAND MODE and the remote’s COMMAND MODE do not match, transmission is not possible between the remote and the receiver.

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

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

When using RM-US105, the buttons for the tuner operation do not work.

•The command mode of the remote is set to “2nd room” or “3rd room”. Set the command mode correctly.

The component names appearing in the function list do not correspond to the jacks on the receiver./The sound field list does not appear.

•The remote has not been initialized. Turn on the receiver, point the remote at the receiver, and press SOUND FIELD, FUNCTION, or SUB on the remote (see page 54).

•The batteries are running out. Replace all the batteries with new ones.

The function names that appear in the display windows of the receiver and the remote are different.

• Select the correct function using the remote.

When the CD player, tape deck, or MD deck is connected to the receiver via CONTROL A1/A1 jacks, Auto Function does not work properly.

• Reprogram the remote (see page 64).
