Receiving RDS broadcasts

Simply select a station on the FM band

using automatic tuning (page 10), direct

tuning (page 11), or preset tuning

(page 12).

When you tune in a station that provides RDS services, the program service name appears in the display.

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

Displaying RDS information

While receiving an RDS station, press

DISPLAY repeatedly.

Each time you press the button, RDS information on the display changes cyclically as follows:

Program Service name t Frequency t

Program Type indication indication b) a) t Radio Text t Current Time indication (in 24hour system) a)

Changing the factory setting of an input button

If the factory settings of the input buttons do not match your system components, you can change them. For example, if you have a tape deck and you do not have an MD deck, you can assign the

MD/TAPE button to your tape deck.

Note that the settings of the TUNER button cannot be changed.

1

Hold down the input button whose input you want to change (for example, MD/

TAPE).

2

Press the corresponding button of the component you want to assign to the input button (for example, 4 – Tape deck).

The following buttons are assigned to select the input:

Additional Information

Precautions

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.

• (Models of area code U, CA only)

One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.

• 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 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.

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.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the receiver, use this troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the problem.

There is no sound or only a very low-level sound no matter which component is selected.

• Check that the speakers and components are connected securely and correctly.

• Check that both the receiver and all components are turned on.

• Check that you have selected the correct component on the receiver.

• Check that MASTER VOLUME –/+ is not set at

“ VOL MIN ” .

• Check that the SPEAKER A or SPEAKER B is

not set to off (page 17).

• Press MUTING on the remote to cancel the muting function.

There is no sound from a specific component.

• Check that the component is connected correctly to the audio input jacks for that component.

• Check that the cord(s) used for the connection is

(are) fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component.

• Check that you have selected the correct component on the receiver.

There is no sound from one of the front speakers.

• Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack to verify that sound is output from the headphones. If only one channel is output from the headphones, the component may not be connected to the receiver correctly. Check that all the cords are fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component. If both channels are output from the headphones, the front speaker may not be connected to the receiver correctly.

Check the connection of the front speaker which is not outputting any sound.

The left and right sounds are unbalanced or reversed.

• Check that the speakers and components are connected correctly and securely.

• Adjust the balance (page 15).

There is severe hum or noise.

• Check that the speakers and components are connected securely.

• Check that the connecting cords are away from a transformer or motor, and at least 3 meters

(10 feet) away from a TV set or fluorescent light.

• Move your TV away from the audio components.

• The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol.

Recording cannot be done.

• Check that the components are connected correctly.

• Select the source component with input buttons.

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 12).

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.

* Models of area code CEL, CEK only.

Remote control

The remote does not function.

• The DVD 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.

Error message

If there is a malfunction, the display shows a message.

PROTECT

Irregular current is output from the speakers. Turn off the receiver, check the speaker connection and turn on the power again. If this problem persists, turn off the receiver and 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 9). 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.
