Additional Information
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 56).
 Press DISPLAY repeatedly on the receiver 
so that the frequency appears on the 
display.
Remote commander
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 you select the correct input on 
the remote.
 
Error messages
If there is a malfunction, the display shows a 
message. You can check the condition of the 
system by the message. Refer to the following 
table to solve the problem. If any problem 
persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer. 
If an error message appears while you perform 
Auto Calibration, see “Error and warning 
codes” (page 31) to solve the problem.
DEC. EROR
Appears when a signal the receiver cannot 
decode (ex. DTS-CD) is input and “DEC. 
PRI.” in the AUDIO menu is set to “DEC. 
PCM”. Set it to “DEC. AUTO” (page 40).
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 you are unable to remedy the 
problem using the 
troubleshooting guide
Clearing the receiver’s memory may remedy 
the problem (page 28). 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. Note that if 
service personnel changes some parts during 
repair, these parts may be retained.
