Audio track/file transfer
A file cannot be played.  The extension of the file name or file format is not correct. See “Playable Discs/
Files on a USB Device” (page 5).
 Check the [MEDIA] setting (page 36).
 The system can play to a depth of 8 folders only.
 Check that the number of folders is 200 or less.
 Check that the number of audio files/JPEG image files in the folder is 150 or 
less.
 Files that are encrypted or protected by passwords, etc. cannot be played.
A JPEG image file cannot be 
viewed. The JPEG image file is larger than 3,072 (width) × 2,048 (height) pixels in 
normal format, or more than 2,000,000 pixels in progressive format which is 
mainly used on Internet Web sites.
A video file cannot be played.  The video file is larger than 720 (width) × 576 (height).
A WMA file cannot be played.  A WMA file that is in WMA DRM, WMA Lossless, or WMA PRO format 
cannot be played.
An AAC file cannot be played.  An AAC file that is in AAC DRM or AAC Lossless format cannot be played.
The titles of folders/files/file 
names are not displayed 
correctly. The system can only display numbers and letters of the alphabet. Other 
characters are not displayed correctly.
It takes time until playback 
starts. After the system reads all files on the USB device, playback may take more 
time than usual if:
– there are many folders or files on the USB device.
– the folder or file organization structure is very complex.
– the memory capacity is very large.
– the file size is extremely large.
– the internal memory is fragmented.
 The system is playing an audio file in AAC format.
A USB device which has been 
used on another device does not 
work. It may be recorded in an unsupported format. If so, first take the precaution of 
backing up important files on the USB device by copying them to your 
computer hard disk. Next, format the USB device in FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32 
format, and transfer the files to the USB device again.
Symptom Problems and solutions
You cannot start transferring 
onto a USB device. The following problems may have occurred:
– The USB device is full.
– The number of audio files and folders on the USB device has reached the 
upper limit.
– The USB device is write-protected.
Transferring stops before it is 
finished. The communication speed of the USB device is extremely slow. Connect a 
USB device that this system can play.
 If the transferring and erasing operations are repeated multiple times, the file 
structure within the USB device becomes complex. Follow the procedure in the 
operating instructions of the USB device to format the USB device. If the 
problem persists, contact your nearest Sony dealer.
 The USB device is full.
 The number of audio files and folders on the USB device has reached the upper 
limit.
Symptom Problems and solutions
 
						

							72GB
Tuner
Control for HDMI
Karaoke
Transferring to a USB device 
results in an error. The USB device was disconnected or the power was turned off during erasing. 
Delete the partially-erased file. If this does not fix the problem, the USB device 
may be broken. Follow the procedure in the operating instructions of the USB 
device to format the USB device. If the problem persists, contact your nearest 
Sony dealer.
 Check if the USB device is write-protected. Audio files or folders on the 
USB device cannot be erased.
Symptom Problems and solutions
Radio stations cannot be tuned 
in. Check that the antenna (aerial) is connected securely. Adjust the antenna 
(aerial) or 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.
FM reception is poor.  Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the unit to an outdoor FM 
antenna (aerial).
Symptom Problems and solutions
The Control for HDMI function 
does not work. Set [CONTROL FOR HDMI] in [HDMI SETUP] to [ON] (page 62).
 Make sure that the connected component is compatible with the [CONTROL 
FOR HDMI] function.
 Check the connected component’s setting for the Control for HDMI function. 
Refer to the operating instructions of the component.
 If you change the HDMI connection, connect and disconnect the AC power 
cord (mains lead), or have a power failure, set [CONTROL FOR HDMI] in 
[HDMI SETUP] to [OFF], then set to [ON] (page 62).
 For details, see “Using the Control for HDMI Function for “BRAVIA” Sync” 
(page 51).
No sound is output from the 
system and TV while using the 
System Audio Control function. Make sure that the connected TV is compatible with the System Audio Control 
function.
 For details, see “Using the Control for HDMI Function for “BRAVIA” Sync” 
(page 51).
Symptom Problems and solutions
Microphone sound is not output.  Set the karaoke mode to on (page 43).
 Connect the microphone to the unit properly.
 Connect a monaural dynamic microphone.

If the cause of the problem cannot be found even after checking all the above 
items, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
“OVERLOAD,” “REMOVE,” 
“USB,” then “PUSH PWR”

(When letters/numbers appear in the 
display)
When the self-diagnosis function is activated to 
prevent the system from malfunctioning, a 5-
character service number (e.g., C 13 50) with a 
combination of a letter and 4 digits appears on 
the TV screen or front panel display. In this case, 
check the following table:
When the version number 
appears on the TV screen
When you turn on the system, the version 
number [VER.X.XX] (X is a number) may 
appear on the TV screen. Although this is not a 
malfunction and for Sony service use only, 
normal system operation will not be possible. 
Turn off the system, and then turn on the system 
again to operate.
