If the system malfunctions due to
a cause other than the ones
mentioned above
This system coordinates its performance by
using built-in microcomputer chips.
Therefore there may be a case where the
system does not operate properly if the
condition of its power source etc. is unstable.
In such a case, turn the system's power off
and then turn it on again. If the system still
does not operate properly, consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
