Troubleshooting

When the ?/1 indicator flashes
Immediately unplug the power cord and 
check the following items.
• If your system has a voltage selector, is the 
voltage selector set to the correct voltage? 
Check the voltage for your region, then 
make sure the voltage selector is set 
correctly.
• Are the + and – speaker cords short-
circuited?
• Are you using the supplied speakers?
• Is anything blocking the ventilation holes 
on the rear of the system?
Check all the above items and fix any 
problems found. After ?/1 indicator stops 
flashing, reconnect the power cord and turn 
on the system. If the indicator still flashes, or 
if the cause of the problem cannot be found 
even after checking all the above items, 
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
