Troubleshooting (continued)

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.

•No stations have been preset or the preset stations have been cleared (when tuning by scanning preset stations). Preset the stations (see page 26).

RDS does not work.*

•Make sure that you’re 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 they actually provide the service in question. If so, the service may be temporarily out of order.

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

•Select the appropriate input selector on the receiver.

•Set your TV to the appropriate input mode.

•Move your TV away from the audio components.

The remote does not function.

•The AUX and AAC BI-LING buttons on the remote are not available.

•Point the remote at the remote sensor g on the receiver.

•Remove any obstacles in the path between the remote and the receiver.

•Replace both batteries in the remote with new ones, if they are weak.

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

•If the remote is set to operate the TV only, use the remote to select a source or component other than TV before operating the receiver or other component.

If you are unable to remedy the problem using the troubleshooting guide

Clearing the receiver’s memory may remedy the problem (page 12). However, note that all memorized settings will be reset to their factory settings and you will have to readjust all settings on the receiver.

If the problem persist

Consult your nearest Sony dealer.
