Remote Control
Condition Explanation/Resolution
On a dual-feed cable system
(“A” and “B” feed), the Guide
collects data intermittently
❏ The TV might be connected to the wrong feed. To test this, try changing the feed
when you leave the TV in standby mode (i.e. when you turn the TV off using the
POWER button on the remote control or front panel of the TV) to receive the
updated Guide data. The Guide only updates data on the feed that originally
collected the data. For example, if the Guide collected data on the “A” feed, then
you must leave the TV on the “A” feed when you put it in standby mode. If you
left the TV on the “B” feed in this example, the Guide would not be able to update
any data.
❏ If, after trying both feeds, the Guide still does not have data, please contact Sony.
Condition Explanation/Resolution
Remote control does not
operate
❏ The batteries could be weak. Replace the batteries.
❏ Check the orientation of the batteries.
❏ Press TV (FUNCTION) once, and the TV indicator lights up. You may have
inadvertently pressed SAT/CABLE (FUNCTION), which changes the remote
control to SAT or CABLE mode.
❏ Make sure this unit’s power cord is connected securely to the wall outlet.
❏ Fluorescent lamps can interfere with remote control operation; try turning off the
fluorescent lamps.
❏ Keep the remote control sensor area clear from obstacles.
❏ If the “WARNING: TV temperature is high.” message appears, turn off the TV
and wait until the TV’s projection lamp cools down (approximately 5 minutes). If
the remote control still does not work, make sure to dust the ventilation slots on
the rear of the TV and the cooling fan to provide adequate ventilation around the
TV.
Cannot change channels with
the remote control
❏ If you are using the TV to change channels, first press TV (FUNCTION) once,
and the TV indicator lights up.
❏ If you are using another device to change channels, be sure you have not
inadvertently switched your TV from the channel 3 or 4 setting.
❏ If you are using another device to change channels, be sure to press FUNCTION
for that device. For example, if you are using your cable box to change channels,
be sure to press SAT/CABLE (FUNCTION) once, and the SAT/CABLE indicator
lights up.
Remote control does not
operate non-Sony video
equipment
❏ If you replaced the batteries to the remote recently, the code numbers for the video
equipment may need to be reset.
❏ There may be more than one code for the equipment that you are attempting to
operate.
❏ There is a possibility that some non-Sony equipment cannot be operated by your
Sony TV remote. You may need to use the equipment’s original remote control.
