Troubleshooting

Problems and remedies

Should you encounter a problem with your system, do the following:
1 Make su re the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT cable
of the unit is connected to the AV system with DIGITAL MEDIA PORT interface (Sony DAV series, etc.).
2 Find your problem in the troubleshooting
checklist below and take the indicated corrective action.
If the problem persists after doing all of the above, consult your nearest Sony dealer. Note that if service personnel changes some parts during repair, these parts may be retained. When bringing the system in for repairs, be sure to bring in the entire system. This product is a system product, and the entire system is needed to determine the location requiring repair.
General
There is no sound.
• Check the connections.
• Check the connected AV system’s volume.
There is severe hum or noise.
• Move the unit away from the source of noise.
The remote does not function.
• Remove the obstacle.
• Move the remote closer to the unit.
• Replace the CR2025 battery.
• Locate the unit away from the fluorescent light.
Network
The desired server cannot be found.
• Restart the computer.
• Check the WIRELESS/WIRED selector on the network unit.
• Check the network settings on your computer.
• Start up the server you want to use on your computer.
• Check the network settings on the unit side.
• Set the router or hub again correctly. For details, see the instruction manual of the router or hub.
• When setting a firewall other than that provided with the OS, refer to Troubleshooting in the “M-
crew Server Ver. 2.5” Installation instructions included on the supplied CD-ROM.
• Reduce the number of servers that can be connected to 10 servers or less (page 30).
• Follow the procedure below and reconnect to the server.
1. Press MENU.
2. Select “SERVER?” in the network menu
(page 30), then press ENTER.
3. Press ./> repeatedly to select the
desired media server, then press ENTER.
Tracks registered to a server cannot be selected by the unit.
• Track selection, playback and other operations on the unit side may not be possible for servers other than M-crew Server Ver. 2.5.
The sound skips.
• Sound skipping may occur in the following cases:
– When music is being recorded onto the server
– When the computer is running many
applications
– When the network status is crowded
– When multiple unit systems are performing
playback simultaneously
• When the computer and the wireless LAN router are connected by a wireless connection, change it to a wired connection.
• When the wireless LAN router and the unit are connected by a wireless connection, position the unit as close to the wireless LAN router as possible.
Track names are not displayed.
• Some types of input characters cannot be displayed by the unit, even if they can be registered and displayed on the server.
Operation commands take time.
• Depending on the condition of the server, it may take a while until operation proceeds. For example, when there is no response after pressing m/M, keep pressing m/M for a while. Afterwards, operation should begin.
Wireless connection does not work well.
• Check that the wireless settings (SSID, Security mode, wireless network key) match the settings of your wireless LAN router.
• Check that your wireless LAN router uses the latest firmware version. If it is not the latest version, updating the firmware may improve the communication quality. For details, refer to the operation manual of your wireless LAN router.
• Make sure not to place the unit in a metallic TV stand, etc.
Troubleshooting
33
GB
• Make sure not to place the unit too far from the wireless LAN router.
• Check your wireless LAN connection environment. You cannot use CH 12 and 13 (for European customers).
• If the electric wave is crossed with other wireless LAN waves, change the wireless channel.
• Check for obstacles (metallic wall, etc.) installed between the wireless access point and the unit. These obstacles shorten the wave’s reach length.
• When using the PARTY MODE, using IEEE802.11g (wireless)/100BASE-TX (wired) for LAN connection is suggested.
If the unit still does not operate properly after performing the above measures, reset the unit as follows:
While the unit is ‘on’ (the unit is connected to an AV system), press RESET on the bottom of the unit using a fine-tipped tool (e.g. pencil, etc.).
The unit is reset to the factory settings. You should set the settings you made.

Glossary

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
An encryption protocol employed by the wireless LAN encryption systems WPA and WPA2. AES has more advanced security functions than TKIP.
Default gateway
When communicating with devices that exist on a different network, the data is first transferred to a node (relay point) called a gateway. However, when the gateway to which the data should be transmitted is not known, the data is transferred to the most typical node called the default gateway.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
A system for automatically allocating configuration data required for an Internet connection.
IP address
IP addresses usually comprise four groups of up to three digits each, separated by a period (such as 192.168.239.1). All devices on a network must have an IP address.
MAC address (Media Access Control Address)
A unique number set to identify a network interface on a network. A unique address is assigned to each interface connected to a network.
SSID (Service Set Identifier)
The name used by a wireless LAN to identify a specific network. The same SSID is set for both the wireless LAN router and the device with wireless LAN functions, and wireless communication is possible between devices with matching SSID.
Subnet mask
Part of an IP address that identifies the subnet, a smaller group on the network.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
An encryption protocol employed by the wireless LAN encryption systems WPA and WPA2. TKIP prevents decoding of encryption keys and spoofing, and has more advanced security functions than WEP.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
A data encryption system employed by wireless LAN. WEP technology uses the same 64-bit or 128-bit encryption key for both devices communicating over a wireless LAN to prevent data from being decoded by other devices.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
The wireless LAN encryption standard advocated by the wireless LAN industry group Wi-Fi Alliance. The WPA standard features stronger security than WEP.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)
The new wireless LAN encryption standard advocated by the wireless LAN industry group Wi-Fi Alliance. The WPA2 standard features even stronger security than WPA.
