x HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection, allowing you to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals. x L.F.E.
On placement • Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of the receiver. • 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 television, VCR, or tape deck.
There is no sound from one of the front speakers. • 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 component 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 component. If both channels are output from the headphones, the front speaker may not be connected to the receiver correctly.
There is no sound from the speakers of the receiver when you connect the receiver and the playback component via a HDMI connection. • Make sure that you have connected the digital audio jacks on the playback component to the receiver. Then, turn off TV’s volume or activate the TV’s muting function. Recording cannot be carried out. • Check that the components are connected correctly. • Select the source component using the input buttons. The surround effect cannot be obtained.
Radio stations cannot be tuned in. • Check that the antennas (aerials) are connected securely. Adjust the antennas (aerials) and connect an external antenna (aerial), if necessary. • The signal strength of the stations is too weak (when tuning in with automatic tuning). Use direct tuning. • Make sure you set the tuning interval correctly (when tuning in AM stations with direct tuning). • No stations have been preset or the preset stations have been cleared (when tuning by scanning preset stations).
If you are unable to remedy the problem using the troubleshooting guide Clearing the receiver’s memory may remedy the problem (page 25). However, note that all memorized settings will be reset to their factory settings and you will have to readjust all settings on the receiver. If the problem persist Consult your nearest Sony dealer. Note that if service personnel changes some parts during repair, these parts may be retained.
