the following items.
• If your system has a voltage selector, is the
voltage selector set to the correct voltage?
Check the voltage for your region, then
make sure the voltage selector is set
correctly.
• Are the + and – speaker cords short-
circuited?
• Are you using the supplied speakers?

on the rear of the system?
Check all the above items and fix any

even after checking all the above items,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
