to adjust the volume.

Receiving Broadcasts

This receiver lets you enter a station’s frequency directly by using the numeric buttons (direct tuning). If you don’t know the frequency of the station you want, see “Receiving broadcasts by scanning stations (automatic tuning)” on this page.

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• Connected an FM/AM antenna to the receiver as indicated on page 5.

• Selected the appropriate speaker system. (See “Selecting the speaker system” on page 7.)

Receiver Operations

If an FM stereo program is distorted

The STEREO indicator flashes. Press FM MODE to change to monaural (MONO). You will not have the stereo effect but the distortion will be reduced. To return to stereo mode, press this button again.

If you cannot tune in a station and the entered numbers are flashing

Make sure you’ve entered the right frequency. If not, press DIRECT and re-enter the frequency you want. If the entered numbers still flash, the frequency is not used in your area.

To watch FM simulcast TV programs

Make sure that you tune in the simulcast program both on the TV (or the VCR) and on the receiver.

If you enter a frequency not covered by the tuning interval

The entered value is automatically rounded up or down to the closest covered value.

direction of the AM loop antenna for optimum reception.

To receive other stations

Repeat Steps 3 to 5.

Tuning intervals for direct tuning are: FM: 50 kHz intervals AM: 10 kHz intervals (to change to 9 kHz intervals, see

page 13)

Receiving broadcasts by scanning stations (automatic tuning)

If you don’t know the frequency of the radio station you want, you can have the receiver scan all the receivable stations to locate the one you want.

1 Press TUNER.

The last received station is tuned in.

2 Press FM/AM to select FM or AM. 3 Press TUNING + or –.

Press the + button for a higher station number; press the – button for a lower one. When you tune past either end of the band, the receiver automatically jumps to the opposite end. Every time a station is received, the receiver stops scanning. To continue scanning, press the button again.

If the STEREO indicator remains off

Press FM MODE when an FM stereo broadcast is received.

Receiver Operations

Presetting Radio Stations

You’ll most likely want to preset the receiver with the radio stations you listen to often so that you don’t have to tune in the station every time. The receiver can store a total of 30 FM or AM stations. You can store the stations on preset numbers combining 3 characters (A, B, C) and numbers (0 - 9). For example, you can store a station as preset number A1, B6 or C9, etc.

Numeric buttons

1 Press TUNER.

The last received station is tuned in.

SHIFT

MEMORYTUNER

Tuning preset stations (preset tuning)

You can tune directly to a preset station by entering its preset number. If you don’t know which stations are preset on which numbers, you can tune by scanning the preset stations.

1 Press TUNER.

The last received station is tuned in.

2 Press SHIFT to select a character (A, B or C), then

press the number. For example, select A and then press 7 to tune in the station preset as A7.

You can tune by scanning the preset stations

First press TUNER and then press PRESET TUNING + or – to select the station you want. Each time you press the buttons, the preset numbers change as follows:

n A1 ˜ A2 ˜… ˜ A0 ˜ B1 ˜ B2 ˜ … ˜ B0 N

n C0 ˜ … ˜ C2 ˜ C1N

2 Tune in the station you want.

If you are not familiar with how to tune in a

station, see “Receiving Broadcasts” on the previous page.

3 Press MEMORY.

“MEMORY” appears for a few seconds. Do steps 4 and 5 before “MEMORY” goes out.

4 Press SHIFT to select a character (A, B or C).

Each time you press SHIFT, the letter “A,” “B” or

“C” appears in the display.

If “MEMORY” disappears, start again from step 3.

5 While MEMORY is displayed, press the number

you want to use (0 to 9).

6 Repeat Steps 2 to 5 to preset other stations.

To change a preset station

Preset a new station on the number you want to change.

Note

If the AC power cord is disconnected for about one week, the preset stations will be cleared from the receiver’s memory, and you will have to preset the stations again.

Recording

This receiver makes it easy to record to and from the components connected to the receiver. You don’t have to connect playback and recording components directly: once you select a program source on the receiver, you can record and edit as you normally would using the controls on each component. Before you begin, make sure you’ve connected all components properly.

Recording on an audio tape, MiniDisc or video tape

You can record audio on a cassette tape, MiniDisc or video tape using the receiver. See the instruction manual of your tape deck, MD deck or VCR if you need help.

1 Press one of the function buttons to select the

program source.

2 Set the component to be ready for playing.

For example, insert a CD into the CD player.

3 Insert a blank tape or disc into the recording deck

and adjust the recording level, if necessary.

4 Start recording on the recording deck and then

start playing the component.

Additional Information

Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the receiver, use this troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the problem. Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

No picture or an unclear picture is seen on the TV screen.

/ Place your TV away from the audio

components.

Recording cannot be made.

/ Check that the components are connected

correctly.

There’s no sound or only a very low-level sound is heard.

/ Check that the speakers and components are

connected securely.

/ Make sure you select the correct component

on the receiver.

/ Make sure you set the SPEAKERS selector

correctly.

/ Press MUTING on the remote if the MUTING

indicator turns on.

/ The protective device on the receiver has been

activated because of a short circuit. (“PROTECT” flashes.) Turn off the receiver, eliminate the short-circuit problem and turn on the power again.

The left and right sounds are unbalanced or reversed.

/ Check that the speakers and components are

connected correctly and securely.

/ Adjust the BALANCE control.

Severe hum or noise is heard.

/ Check that the speakers and components are

connected securely.

/ Check that the connecting cords are away

from a transformer or motor, and at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from a TV set or fluorescent light.

/ Place your TV away from the audio

components.

/ Make sure you connect a ground wire to the

antenna ground terminal.

/ The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them

with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol.

The remote does not function.

/ Point the remote at the remote sensor g on

the receiver.

/ Remove the obstacles in the path of the

remote and the receiver.

/ Replace both batteries in the remote with new

ones if they are weak.

/ Make sure you select the correct function on

the remote.

Radio stations cannot be tuned in.

/ Check that the antennas are connected

securely. Adjust the antennas and connect an outdoor antenna if necessary.

/ The signal strength of the stations is too weak

(when you tune in with automatic tuning). Use direct tuning.

/ Make sure you set the tuning interval

correctly (when you tune in AM stations with automatic tuning) (see pages 9 and 13).

/ No stations have been preset or the preset

stations have been cleared (when you tune in with scanning preset stations). Preset the stations (see page 10).
