How to fix color irregularity observed on my Sony HT-M7 Home Theater System?
Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes.
Why does my Sony Home Theater System receiver turn off automatically?
“AUTO.STBY” is set to “STBY ON” or The Sleep Timer function is working.
Why does “READING” display for an extended time, or why does playback take a long time to start on my Sony HT-M7?
The reading process can take a long time if there are many folders or files on the USB device, the file structure is extremely complex, the memory capacity is excessive, or the internal memory is fragmented. It is recommended to have 100 or fewer total folders (including the “ROOT” folder) and 100 or fewer files per folder.
Why no 3D image appears on the TV with my Sony Home Theater System?
Depending on the TV or the video equipment, 3D images may not be displayed.
Why radio stations cannot be tuned in on my Sony HT-M7 Home Theater System?
To address this, check that the antennas are securely connected. Adjust the antennas and connect an external antenna if needed. If automatic tuning has weak signal strength, use direct tuning. Ensure you set the tuning scale correctly when tuning in AM stations with direct tuning. If no stations have been preset or have been cleared, preset the stations. Press DISPLAY repeatedly so that the frequency appears on the display panel.
Why the USB device cannot be connected into the (USB) port of Sony Home Theater System?
The USB device is being connected upside down. Connect the USB device in the correct orientation.
Why is there no sound from my Sony HT-M7 Home Theater System, or is the sound very low?
First, ensure that all connecting cords are correctly inserted into the input/output jacks of the receiver, speakers, and equipment. Then, verify that both the receiver and all connected equipment are powered on. Check that the MASTER VOLUME is not set to “VOL MIN”. Also, press MUTING on the remote to deactivate the muting function. Try selecting your equipment by pressing the input button on the remote or turning the INPUT SELECTOR on the receiver. If you want to listen to the sound from the TV speaker, set the “AUDIO.OUT” to “TV+AMP” in the HDMI menu; otherwise, set it to “AMP”.
How to improve poor FM reception on my Sony HT-M7 Home Theater System?
To fix this, use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna.
Why is the Control for HDMI function not working on my Sony HT-M7?
To resolve this, check the HDMI connection. Ensure “CTRL.HDMI” is set to “CTRL ON” in the HDMI menu. Confirm that the connected equipment is compatible with the Control for HDMI function and check its Control for HDMI settings. If you unplugged the HDMI cable or changed the connection, repeat the procedures of “Preparing for the “BRAVIA” Sync”.
