troubleshooting guide to help remedy the
problem before requesting repairs. Should any
problem persist, consult your nearest Sony
dealer. When bringing the system in for repairs,
be sure to bring in the entire system.
When you install the S-AIR sub unit (optional),
in the event of a problem with the S-AIR
function, have a Sony dealer check the entire
system together (main unit and S-AIR sub unit).
