Why is there no sound or low volume on my Sony Conference System?

  Carlos SmithJul 31, 2025
  If you are experiencing no sound or very low volume on your Sony Conference System, there could be several reasons: * The system volume might be set too low. You can adjust it using the VOLUME +/– buttons on the Remote Commander. * The TV monitor volume could be too low; adjust the TV volume. * The microphone on the remote party may be turned off; ask them to turn it on. * “Mic Select” may not be set correctly; set it up according to the microphone you're using. * Audio input might not be selected properly; set up “Input Select” correctly. * The microphone or external equipment may not be connected correctly; check the connection.
