Tuner
Severe hum or noise/stations cannot be
received.
• Set the proper band and frequency (see
page 7).
• Connect the aerial properly (see page 5).
• Find a place and an orientation that provide
good reception, then set up the aerial again.
If you cannot obtain good reception, we
recommend you connect a commercially
available external aerial.
• The supplied FM lead aerial receives signals
along its entire length, so make sure you
extend it fully.
• Locate the aerials as far away from the
speaker cords as possible.
• Consult your nearest Sony dealer if the
supplied AM aerial has come off the plastic
stand.
• Try turning off surrounding electrical
equipments.
A stereo FM programme cannot be
received in stereo.
• Press STEREO/MONO until "STEREO"
appears in the display.
• See "Severe hum or noise/stations cannot be
received.", and check the aerial condition.
Cyclical static noise is heard while
recording on an MD.
• Adjust the aerial orientation and position until
the noise stops.

arrow pointing toward the deck.
The controls do not work.

The sound skips.
• Replace the MD.
• Try moving the system to a place without
vibration (e.g., on top of a stable stand).
• Try moving the speakers away from the

When you listen to a track with bass sounds at
high volume, the speaker vibration may cause
the sound to skip.

"PROGRAM" and "SHUFFLE" disappear to

lower.
Recording or editing was done, but the
TOC is not updated.

recorded to the MD when the MD is removed,
so make sure you remove the MD after
recording or editing (see pages 26 and 40).
Recording is not possible.
• Remove the MD and slide the tab to close the
slot (see page 26).
• Connect the optional A/V component
properly (see page 60).
• Switch to another sound source.
• Replace the MD with a recordable MD, or use
the Erase function to erase unnecessary tracks
(see pages 43 to 46).
