On placement

• Place the receiver in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat buildup and
prolong the life of the receiver.

• Do not place the receiver near heat sources,

or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet

that might block the ventilation holes and
cause malfunctions.

• Do not place the receiver near equipment

such as a television, VCR, or tape deck. If
the receiver is being used in combination
with a television, VCR, or tape deck, and is
placed too close to that equipment, noise
may result, and picture quality may suffer.
This is especially likely when using an
indoor antenna (aerial). Therefore, we
recommend using an outdoor antenna
(aerial).

• Use caution when placing the receiver on

surfaces that have been specially treated
(with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.

On operation

Before connecting other components, be sure
to turn off and unplug the receiver.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a
soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent,
such as alcohol or benzine.

If you have any questions or problems
concerning your receiver, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following
difficulties while using the receiver, use this
troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the
problem.

Audio

There is no sound, no matter which
component is selected, or only a very
low-level sound is heard.

• Check that the speakers and components

are connected correctly and securely.

• Check that both the receiver and all

components are turned on.

to “VOL MIN”.

function.

• Check that you have selected the correct

There is no sound from a specific

correctly to the audio input jacks for that
component.

• Check that the cord(s) used for the
