The remote does not function.
Immediately unplug the power cord, and check the following items. If your system has a voltage selector, is the voltage selector set to the correct voltage? Are you using only the supplied speakers? Is anything blocking the ventilation holes on the top or back of the system? After the STANDBY indicator [gJ stops flashing, reconnect the power cord, and turn on the system. If the issue persists, contact your nearest Sony dealer.

Remove any obstacles between the remote and the remote sensor ~ on the unit, and position the unit away from fluorescent lights. Point the remote at the system's sensor. Move the remote closer to the system.

(D/MP) player

The sound skips, or the disc will not play.

General

Sound comes from one channel, or the left and right volumes are unbalanced.
Wipe the disc clean, and replace it. Move the system to a location away from vibration (for example, on top of a stable stand). Move the speakers away from the system, or place them on separate stands. At high volume, speaker vibration may cause the sound to skip.
Play does not start from the first track.
Place the speakers as symmetrically as.possible. Connect only the supplied speakers.

Severe hum or noise.

Press PLAY MODE [1] repeatedly until both "PGM" and "SHUF" disappear to return to normal play.
Move the system away from sources of noise.

On safety

On the speaker system
Completely disconnect the power cord (mains lead) from the wall socket (mains) if it is not going to be used for an extended period of time. When unplugging the unit, always grip the plug. Never pull the cord itself. Should any solid object or liquid get into the system, unplug the system, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it again. The AC power cord can be changed only by a qualified service facility.

On placement

This speaker system is not magnetically shielded, and the picture on nearby TV sets may become magnetically distorted. In this situation, turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back on. If there is no improvement, move the speakers far away from the TV.

Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology is a shortrange wireless technology linking digital devices, such as personal computers and digital still cameras. Using the Bluetooth wireless technology, you can operate the units involved within a range of about 10 meters. The Bluetooth wireless technology is commonly used between two devices, but a single device can be connected to multiple devices. You do not need wires to get connected as you do with a USB connection, and you do not need to place the devices face to face as you do with wireless infrared technology. You can use the technology with one Bluetooth device in your bag or pocket. Bluetooth wireless technology is a global standard supported by thousands of companies.

Profile refers to a standard set of capabilities for various Bluetooth product capabilities. This system supports the following Bluetooth version and profiles. Supported Bluetooth version: Bluetooth Standard version 2.0 Supported Bluetooth profiles: A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile)
Effertive communication range
Bluetooth devices should be used within approximately 10 meters (unobstructed distance) of each other. The effective communication range may become shorter under the following conditions. - When a person, metal object, wall or other obstruction is between the devices with a Bluetooth connection - Locations where a wireless LAN is installed - Around microwave ovens that are in use - Locations where other electromagnetic waves occur

This system supports security functions that comply with the Bluetooth specification as a means of ensuring security during communication using Bluetooth technology. However, this security may be insufficient depending on the setting contents and other factors, so always be careful when performing communication using Bluetooth technology. Sony cannot be held liable in any way for damages or other loss resulting from information leaks during communication using Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth communication is not necessarily guaranteed with all Bluetooth devices that have the same profile as this system. Bluetooth devices connected with this system must comply with the Bluetooth specification prescribed by the BliJetooth SIG, Inc., and must be certified to comply. However, even when a device complies with the Bluetooth specification, there may be cases where the characteristics or specifications of the Bluetooth device make it impossible to connect, or may result in different control methods, display or operation. Noise may occur or the audio may cut off depending on the Bluetooth device connected with this system, the communications environment, or surrounding conditions.

Effects of other devices
Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11 big) use the same frequency band (2.4 GHz). When using your Bluetooth device near a device with wireless LAN capability, electromagnetic interference may occur. This could result in lower data transfer rates, noise, or inability to connect. If this happens, try the following remedies: - Try connecting this system and Bluetooth mobile phone or Bluetooth device when you are at least 10 meters away from the wireless LAN equipment. - Turn off the power to the wireless LAN equipment when using your Bluetooth 'device within 10 meters.

Effects on other devices

The radio waves broadcast by this system may interfere with the operation of some medical devices. Since this interference may result in malfunction, always turn off the power on this system, Bluetooth mobile phone and Bluetooth device in the following locations: - In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas stations, and any place where flammable gasses may be present - Near automatic doors or fire alarms

ANTENNAS------------------------Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outdoor antenna or cable system is Antenna Grounding According to the National Electrical Code
installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits. WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Antenna Discharge Unit (NEC Section 810-20) Grounding Conductors //.""""-- (NEC Section 810-21) Ground Clamps
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

SERVICE

Damage Requiring Service - Unplug the
appliance from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: - When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
- The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance. - This indicates a need for service.
Servicing - Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

- If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the appliance.
- If the appliance does not operate normally when following the operating instructions, adjust only those controls that are specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to normal operation.
Replacement parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by Sony that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks(as specified by Sony) to determine that the appliance is in safe operating condition.
