Precautions
• Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
• Do not leave the unit in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, moisture, rain or
mechanical shock.
• Do not use alcohol, benzine, or thinner to
clean the cabinet.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your unit that are not covered in
this manual, please consult your nearest
Sony dealer.
Troubleshooting
If you hook up or set up any of your
components incorrectly, you may have
problems using your entertainment system,
including powering on/off components, or
making components respond incorrectly to
the commander. Try the following
suggestions to solve these problems.
Operational problems
If you have problems operating any of your
components, check the following:
• If you press a button on the commander
and the component does not respond,
_ point the commander directly at the TV
and press the button again. If the
component still doesn't respond, point the
commander at the receiver and press the
button again.

Power on/off problems
If you have problems powering on/off
components that have mechanical (push-in
type) power switches:
• Make sure these power switches are
always set to the "on" position (pushed
in).
• Check that each component's AC power
cord is connected to its respective switched
AC outlet of the receiver.
TV sound problems
If you do not hear the sound of the TV
speaker:
• Make sure you connected the TV's audio
output to the receiver's audio input.
• If your TV has both fixed and variable
audio inputs, make sure you used the fixed
audio input. Also, make sure your TV
speakers are turned off.
• You should hear the TV sound from the
system's loudspeakers via the receiver, not
the speakers of the TV. The receiver, not
the TV’s, controls the loudspeaker volume.
To control the TV volume, set up the
commander (see "Switching the volume
control function").
Cable box problems
If you have problems with your cable box:
• If the cable box still does not work, check
with your cable company to see if they can
provide you with a compatible box. (Some
cable companies disable the IR capability
of their boxes if you don't rent their
specific remote control. Contact your cable
company to make sure your cable box has
its IR capability enabled.)
• Make sure that the power of the cable box
is always on.
• When you power on/off the cable box, see
"Turning on the components."
If you have any other problems using your
cable box, check the following:
• When operating the cable box, point the
commander at the cable box.
Setting up problems
• If the code listed first for your component
doesn't work, try all the codes listed for
your component in the order in which they
were listed.
• Make sure the batteries you're using are
not worn out, and that they're inserted
correctly. Note that the setting may be
erased if you take a long time to replace
the batteries.
• Check that the component has infrared
capability. For example, if your
component didn't come with a remote
control, it probably isn't capable of being
controlled by a remote control.
• When you clear all the settings of the
commander, press and hold the VOL -,
SYSTEM OFF, and UNIT OFF buttons
successively.
