If the issue persists, contact your nearest Sony dealer. If the STANDBY indicator flashes Immediately unplug the power cord, and check the following items.  If your system has a voltage selector, is the voltage selector set to the correct voltage?  Are you using only the supplied speakers?  Is anything blocking the ventilation holes on the top or back of the system?After the STANDBY indicator  stops flashing, reconnect the power cord, and turn on the system. If the issue persists, contact your nearest Sony dealer. General Sound comes from one channel, or the left and right volumes are unbalanced.  Place the speakers as symmetrically as possible.  Connect only the supplied speakers. Severe hum or noise.  Move the system away from sources of noise.  Connect the system to a different wall socket.  Install a noise filter (available separately) to the power cord. The remote does not function.  Remove any obstacles between the remote and the remote sensor  on the unit, and position the unit away from fluorescent lights.  Point the remote at the systems sensor.  Move the remote closer to the system. CD/MP3 player The sound skips, or the disc will not play.  Wipe the disc clean, and replace it.  Move the system to a location away from vibration (for example, on top of a stable stand).  Move the speakers away from the system, or place them on separate stands. At high volume, speaker vibration may cause the sound to skip. Play does not start from the first track.  Press PLAY MODE  repeatedly until both PGM and SHUF disappear to return to normal play. Starting playback takes more time than usual.  The following discs take a longer time to start playback.  a disc recorded with a complicated tree structure.  a disc recorded in multisession mode.  a disc that has not been finalized (a disc to which data can be added).  a disc that has many folders.

On safety  Completely disconnect the power cord (mains lead) from the wall socket (mains) if it is not going to be used for an extended period of time. When unplugging the unit, always grip the plug. Never pull the cord itself.  Should any solid object or liquid get into the system, unplug the system, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it again.  The AC power cord can be changed only by a qualified service facility. On placement  Do not place the system in an inclined position or in locations that are extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking adequate ventilation, or subject to vibration, direct sunlight or a bright light.  Be careful when placing the unit or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (for example, with wax, oil, polish) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.  If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player, and cause the system to malfunction. In this situation, remove the disc, and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates. On heat buildup  Heat buildup on the unit during operation is normal and is not cause for alarm.  Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used continuously at a high volume because the cabinet may have become hot.  Do not obstruct the ventilation holes. On the speaker systemThis speaker system is not magnetically shielded, and the picture on nearby TV sets may become magnetically distorted. In this situation, turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back on. If there is no improvement, move the speakers far away from the TV. Cleaning the cabinetClean this system 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 thinner, benzine, or alcohol.
