input you want to change (for example, 
DVD).
2Press the corresponding button of the 
component you want to assign to the 
input button (for example, 1 – CD

On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, 
unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified 
personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
 Before operating the receiver, check that the 
operating voltage is identical with your local power 
supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the 
nameplate at the rear of the receiver.
 The receiver is not disconnected from the AC power 
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall 
outlet, even if the receiver itself has been turned off.
 If you are not going to use the receiver for a long 
time, be sure to disconnect the receiver from the wall 
outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the 
plug itself; never pull the cord.
 AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified 
service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the receiver heats up during operation, this is 
not a malfunction. If you continuously use this receiver 
at a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, 
side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning 
yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
On placement
 Place the receiver in a location with adequate 
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the 
life of the receiver.
 Do not place the receiver near heat sources, or in a 
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or 
mechanical shock.
 Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that 
might block the ventilation holes and cause 
malfunctions.
 Use caution when placing the receiver or speakers on 
surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, 
oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the 
surface may result.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure to turn 
off and unplug the receiver.
If you encounter color irregularity on a 
nearby TV screen
The speakers and the sub woofer are magnetically 
shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. 
However, color irregularities may still be observed 
on certain types of
 TV sets.
If color irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on again after 
15 to 30 minutes.
If color irregularity is observed again...
Place the speaker further away from the TV set.
If howling occurs
Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on 
the receiver.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth 
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do 
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or 
solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any question or problem concerning your 
receiver, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

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 (page 19).
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 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 on the receiver.
 Set your TV to the appropriate input mode.
 Move your TV away from the audio components.
Remote control
The remote does not function.
 The AUX button on the remote is not available for 
receiver operation.
 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 you select the correct input on the 
remote.
 To activate the buttons with orange printing, press 
ALT first before pressing the buttons.
 Before you use the V/v/B/b button for receiver 
operation, press MAIN MENU. To operate other 
components, press TOP MENU/GUIDE or AV 
MENU after pressing the function button.
Error message
If there is a malfunction, the display shows a 
message.
PROTECT
Irregular current is output from the speakers.  The 
receiver will automatically turn off after a few 
seconds. Check the speaker connection and turn on 
the power again. If this problem persists, consult 
your nearest Sony dealer.
If you are unable to remedy the 
problem using the 
troubleshooting guide
Clearing the receiver’s memory may remedy the 
problem (page 13). 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.
