• 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.

• Check if the command modes of the receiver and 

the remote is the same. If the command mode of 
the receiver and the remote is different, you 
cannot operate the receiver with the remote. To 
switch the command mode of the receiver, press 
?/1 to turn off the power. Then, press ?/1 while 
pressing ENTER. Each time you press ?/1, the 
command mode switches between 
“C.MODE.AV2” and “C.MODE.AV1”. (The 
initial setting is “C.MODE.AV2”.)

• Make sure you select the correct input on the 

remote.

• To activate the buttons with orange printing, press 

ALT first before pressing the buttons.

• Before you use the 

V/v/B/b button for receiver 

operation, press MAIN MENU. To operate other 
components, press TOP MENU/GUIDE or AV 
MENU after pressing the input button.

If there is a malfunction, the display shows a 
message. You can check the condition of the 
receiver by the message. Refer to the following 
table 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. If this problem persists, turn off the 
receiver and consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Clearing the receiver’s memory may remedy the 
problem (page 17). However, note that all 
memorized settings will be reset to their factory 
settings and you will have to readjust all settings 
on the receiver.

Consult your nearest Sony dealer.
