Should any problem persist, consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
General
There is no sound.
• Press VOL +.
• Make sure the headphones are not connected.
• Check the speaker connections (see page 6).
Sound comes from one channel, or unbalanced
left and right volume.
• Connect the speaker cords properly (see page 6).
• Place the speakers as symmetrically as possible.
• Connect only one of the supplied speakers to
each set of speaker terminals.
• Connect the supplied speakers.
There is severe hum or noise.
• Move the system away from the source of noise
such as TV, VCR, etc.
• Connect the system to a different wall outlet.
• Install a noise filter (commercially available) to
the power line.
“0:00” (for the European model) or “12:00 AM”
(for other models) flashes in the display.
• Set the clock again (see page 8).
The timer cannot be set.
• Set the clock again (see page 8).
On the speaker system
This speaker system is magnetically shielded and can
be used near TV sets. However, the picture on certain
TV sets may become magnetically distorted. In such a
case, turn off the power of the TV set once, and after
15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.
If there seems to be no improvement, locate the
speaker system further away from the TV set. Also,
be sure not to place objects in which magnets are
attached or used near the TV set, such as audio racks,
TV stands and toys. These may cause magnetic
distortion to the picture due to their interaction with
the system.
Notes on CDs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the center out.
• Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it as
this may damage the player.
• Do not use solvents.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this system. Attempting to
do so may damage the system. Do not use such
discs.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
