Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Possible Cause and remedies |
| TV POWER button doesn’t turn on TV. | The remote control has not been properly programmed. See “Setting up the Remote Control” on page 21.
The batteries in the remote control or optional wireless keyboard could be weak. Check the batteries and replace them if necessary. |
| No picture, no sound. | Make sure the AC Power Cord is connected.
Check that the TV/VIDEO switch is set correctly. Make sure the Digital Satellite Receiver/Recorder is properly connected.

Check that the correct video input is selected by pressing the TV/VIDEO button. If you connected the Digital Satellite Receiver/Recorder using the S-Video or A/V cables, make sure the cables are properly connected. If your TV is not connected using the S-Video or A/V cables, set the CH3-CH4 switch on the back of the Digital Satellite Receiver/Recorder to the opposite channel to which it is currently set. |
| No sound. | If you connected the Digital Satellite Receiver/Recorder using A/V cables, make sure the cables are properly connected. |

Follow the on-line instructions in the “Settings” link, accessible from the TV Home page of the WebTV service. |
| Symptom | Possible Cause and remedies |
| The unit gets extremely hot. | Check the placement of the unit. Place the unit in a location with adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit in a cabinet or on a TV.
If the heat is excessive, contact your Sony dealer. |
| The unit turns off and on by itself. | This is often caused by static build up. Turn off the unit and disconnect the AC Power Cord from the power outlet. Then reconnect the AC Power Cord to the power outlet and turn on the unit. If this does not solve the problem, contact your Sony dealer. |
| The unit will not turn on. | Make sure the AC Power Cord is securely connected to the Digital Satellite Receiver/Recorder and a power outlet. |
| The unit will not connect to the WebTV Network after receiving an upgrade from the WebTV service. | Turn off the Digital Satellite Receiver/Recorder and disconnect the AC Power Cord from the power outlet. Then reconnect the AC Power Cord to the power outlet and turn on the Digital Satellite Receiver/Recorder. You may need to repeat this procedure three or four times to solve the problem. |
