take the indicated corrective action.

If the problem persists after doing all of 
the above, consult your nearest Sony

Note that if service personnel changes 
some parts during repair, these parts may 
be retained.

• The demonstration mode started. Press 

"/1

 (page 13).

The clock or timer setting is canceled.

• The power cord is disconnected or a

the clock” (page 16). If you have set the 
timer, redo “Using the timer” (page 32).

“– –:– –” appears in the display.

• The clock is not set. Set the clock

 repeatedly on the remote) 
or turn MIC LEVEL clockwise to adjust 
the microphone volume.

Additional Information

When the

 indicator flashes

Immediately unplug the power cord 
and check the following items.
•  Are the + and – speaker cords short-

circuited?

• Are you using the supplied 

speakers?

• Is anything blocking the ventilation 

holes on the rear of the unit?

After checking the above items and 
fixing any problems, plug in the power 
cord again and turn on the system. If 
the 

"/1

 indicator still flashes, or if the 

cause of the problem can not be found 
even after checking all the above 
items, consult your nearest Sony 
dealer.
