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.

•Keep the satellite radio antenna, away from the speaker cords and the power cord to avoid picking up noise.

•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 81).

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

The system cannot receive satellite channels at all.

•The receiving condition is not good. Move the antenna to the place where the condition is good.

•Check that you subscribed to the desired satellite radio service (see page 82).

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.
