The FM reception is poor.
• Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to
connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna as
shown below. If you connect the receiver to an
outdoor antenna, ground it against lightning. To
prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the
ground wire to a gas pipe.

• Check that the antennas are connected securely.
Adjust the antennas and connect an external

receiver.
• Remove any obstacles in the path between the
remote and the receiver.
• Replace all the batteries in the remote with new
ones, if they are weak.

remote’s COMMAND MODE do not match,
transmission is not possible between the remote
and the receiver (page 49).
• Make sure you select the correct function on the
remote.
• When you operate a programmed non-Sony
component, the remote may not function
properly depending on the model and the make
