Sony 3-283-375-11(2) User Manual

• 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 antenna, if necessary.

• The signal strength of the stations is too 

weak (when tuning in with automatic 
tuning). Use direct tuning.

• Make sure you set the tuning interval 

correctly (when tuning in AM stations 
with direct tuning).

• No stations have been preset or the preset 

stations have been cleared (when tuning 
by scanning preset stations). Preset the 
stations (page 53).

• Press DISPLAY repeatedly on the 

receiver so that the frequency appears on 
the display.

• Make sure that you are tuned to an FM 

RDS station.

• Select a stronger FM station.

• Contact the radio station and find out 

whether they actually provide the service 
in question. If so, the service may be 
temporarily out of order.

* Models of area code CEL, CEK only.

• Point the remote at the remote sensor on 

the 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.

• Make sure you select the correct input on 

the remote.

If there is a malfunction, the display shows a 
message. You can check the condition of the 
system by the message. Refer to the following 
table to solve the problem. If any problem 
persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer. 
If an error message appears while you perform 
Auto Calibration, see “Error and warning 
codes” (page 30) to solve the problem.

Irregular current is output from the 
speakers. The receiver will automatically 
turn off after a few seconds. Check the 
speaker connection and turn on the power 
again.
