Fuse replacement

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one
that matches the amperage described on the
original original fuse. If the fuse blows, check
the power connection and replace the fuse. If
the fuse blows again after replacement, there
may be an internal malfunction. In such a case,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Warning
Never use a fuse with an amperage rating
exceeding the one supplied with the unit as
this could damage the unit.

open the front panel by pressing (RELEASE),
then detach it and clean the connectors with a

too much force. Otherwise, the connectors may
be damaged.
