On placement
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and
prolong the life of the receiver.
Additional Information
• Do not place the receiver near heat sources,
or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet
that might block the ventilation holes and
cause malfunctions.
• Do not place the receiver near equipment
such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the
receiver is being used in combination with a
TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too
close to that equipment, noise may result,
and picture quality may suffer. This is
especially likely when using an indoor
antenna (aerial). Therefore, we recommend
using an outdoor antenna (aerial).)
Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
On power sources
• Before operating the receiver, check that the
operating voltage is identical with your local
power supply.
The operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate on the back of the receiver.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit
itself has been turned off.
• Use caution when placing the receiver on
surfaces that have been specially treated
(with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
• If you are not going to use the receiver for a
long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver
from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC
power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
On operation
Before connecting other equipment, be sure to
turn off and unplug the receiver.
• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be
changed only at a qualified service shop.
• (USA and Canada models only)
One blade of the plug is wider than the other
for the purpose of safety and will fit into the
wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact
your dealer.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a
soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent,
such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your receiver, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
On heat buildup
Although the receiver heats up during
operation, this is not a malfunction. If you
continuously use this receiver at a large
volume, the cabinet temperature of the top,
side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid
burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
29GB
There is no sound from a specific
equipment.
• Check that the equipment is connected
correctly to the audio input jacks for that
equipment.
• Check that the cord(s) used for the
connection is (are) fully inserted into the
jacks on both the receiver and the
equipment.
Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following
difficulties while using the receiver, use this
troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the
problem. Should any problem persist, consult
your nearest Sony dealer. Note that if service
personnel changes some parts during repair,
these parts may be retained.
There is no sound, no matter which
equipment is selected, or only a very
low-level sound is heard.
• Check that all connecting cords are
inserted to their input/output jacks for the
respective jacks of the receiver, speakers
and the equipment.
• Check that both the receiver and all
equipment are turned on.
• Check that MASTER VOLUME is not set
to “VOL MIN”.
Power
The receiver is turned off
automatically.
• “AUTO.STBY” is set to “STBY ON”

your choice (page 20).
• The protective device on the receiver has
been activated. Turn off the receiver,
eliminate the short-circuit problem, and
turn on the power again.
• Connect a pair of headphones to the
PHONES jack to verify that sound is
output from the headphones. If only one
channel is output from the headphones, the
equipment may not be connected to the
receiver correctly. Check that all the cords
are fully inserted into the jacks on both the
receiver and the equipment. If both
channels are output from the headphones,
the speaker may not be connected to the
receiver correctly. Check the connection of
the speaker which is not outputting any
sound.
There is severe hum or noise.
• Check that the speakers and equipment are
connected securely.
• Check that the connecting cords are away
from a transformer or motor, and at least
3 meters (10 feet) away from a TV set or
fluorescent light.
• Move your audio equipment away from
the TV.
• The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them
with a cloth slightly moistened with
alcohol.
• Make sure you have connected to both the
L and R jacks of an analog equipment,
analog equipment requires both L and R
jack connections. Use an audio cord (not
supplied).
