Troubleshooting
Problems and remedies
Should you encounter a problem with your
system, do the following:
Make sure the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT cable
of the unit is connected to the AV system
with DIGITAL MEDIA PORT interface (Sony
DAV series, etc.).
Find your problem in the troubleshooting
checklist below and take the indicated
corrective action.
General
There is no sound.
• Check the connections.
• Check the connected AV system’s volume.
There is severe hum or noise.
• Move the unit away from the source of noise.
The remote does not function.
• Remove the obstacle.
• Move the remote closer to the unit.
• Replace the CR2025 battery.
• Locate the unit away from the fluorescent light.
Network
The desired server cannot be found.
• Restart the computer.
• Check the WIRELESS/WIRED selector on the
network unit.
• Check the network settings on your computer.
• Start up the server you want to use on your
computer.
• Check the network settings on the unit side.
• Set the router or hub again correctly. For details,
see the instruction manual of the router or hub.
• When setting a firewall other than that provided
with the OS, refer to Troubleshooting in the “M-
Tracks registered to a server cannot be
selected by the unit.
• Track selection, playback and other operations on
the unit side may not be possible for servers other
than M-crew Server Ver. 2.5.
The sound skips.
• Sound skipping may occur in the following cases:
– When music is being recorded onto the server
– When the computer is running many
applications
– When the network status is crowded
– When multiple unit systems are performing
playback simultaneously
• When the computer and the wireless LAN router
are connected by a wireless connection, change it
to a wired connection.
• When the wireless LAN router and the unit are
connected by a wireless connection, position the
unit as close to the wireless LAN router as
possible.
Troubleshooting
If the problem persists after doing all of the
above, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Note that if service personnel changes some
parts during repair, these parts may be retained.
When bringing the system in for repairs, be sure
to bring in the entire system.
This product is a system product, and the entire
system is needed to determine the location
requiring repair.
crew Server Ver. 2.5” Installation instructions
included on the supplied CD-ROM.
• Reduce the number of servers that can be
connected to 10 servers or less (page 30).
• Follow the procedure below and reconnect to the
server.
1. Press MENU.
2. Select “SERVER?” in the network menu
(page 30), then press ENTER.
3. Press ./> repeatedly to select the
desired media server, then press ENTER.
Track names are not displayed.
• Some types of input characters cannot be
displayed by the unit, even if they can be
registered and displayed on the server.
Operation commands take time.
• Depending on the condition of the server, it may
take a while until operation proceeds. For
example, when there is no response after pressing
m/M, keep pressing m/M for a while.
Afterwards, operation should begin.
Wireless connection does not work well.
• Check that the wireless settings (SSID, Security
mode, wireless network key) match the settings of
your wireless LAN router.
• Check that your wireless LAN router uses the
latest firmware version. If it is not the latest
version, updating the firmware may improve the
communication quality. For details, refer to the
operation manual of your wireless LAN router.
• Make sure not to place the unit in a metallic TV
stand, etc.
33GB
• Make sure not to place the unit too far from the
wireless LAN router.
• Check your wireless LAN connection
environment. You cannot use CH 12 and 13 (for
European customers).
• If the electric wave is crossed with other wireless
LAN waves, change the wireless channel.
• Check for obstacles (metallic wall, etc.) installed
between the wireless access point and the unit.
These obstacles shorten the wave’s reach length.
• When using the PARTY MODE, using
IEEE802.11g (wireless)/100BASE-TX (wired)
for LAN connection is suggested.
If the unit still does not operate
properly after performing the
above measures, reset the unit
as follows:
While the unit is ‘on’ (the unit is connected to
an AV system), press RESET on the bottom of
the unit using a fine-tipped tool (e.g. pencil,
etc.).
The unit is reset to the factory settings. You should
set the settings you made.

Glossary
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
An encryption protocol employed by the
wireless LAN encryption systems WPA and
WPA2. AES has more advanced security
functions than TKIP.
Default gateway
When communicating with devices that exist on
a different network, the data is first transferred
to a node (relay point) called a gateway.
However, when the gateway to which the data
should be transmitted is not known, the data is
transferred to the most typical node called the
default gateway.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol)
IP address
IP addresses usually comprise four groups of up
to three digits each, separated by a period (such
as 192.168.239.1). All devices on a network
must have an IP address.
An encryption protocol employed by the
wireless LAN encryption systems WPA and
WPA2. TKIP prevents decoding of encryption
keys and spoofing, and has more advanced
security functions than WEP.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
A data encryption system employed by wireless
LAN. WEP technology uses the same 64-bit or
128-bit encryption key for both devices
communicating over a wireless LAN to prevent
data from being decoded by other devices.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
The wireless LAN encryption standard
advocated by the wireless LAN industry group
Wi-Fi Alliance. The WPA standard features
stronger security than WEP.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)
The new wireless LAN encryption standard
advocated by the wireless LAN industry group
Wi-Fi Alliance. The WPA2 standard features
even stronger security than WPA.
Additional Information
A system for automatically allocating
configuration data required for an Internet
connection.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol)
MAC address (Media Access Control
Address)
A unique number set to identify a network
interface on a network. A unique address is
assigned to each interface connected to a
network.
SSID (Service Set Identifier)
The name used by a wireless LAN to identify a
specific network. The same SSID is set for both
the wireless LAN router and the device with
wireless LAN functions, and wireless
communication is possible between devices
with matching SSID.
Subnet mask
Part of an IP address that identifies the subnet, a
smaller group on the network.
