Why is my Sony stereo receiver not working?

These directly drive the loudspeaker outputs on the receiver itself, and one or more of them being shorted (closed circuit), will trigger the error on the display of the receiver, and it will not go off until the problem is repaired. They are not user-replaceable as they are PCB mounted, and thermally coupled to a heatsink.

What to do when your stereo won’t turn on?

If it still won’t turn on, try a different wall outlet. Make sure that your device is set to the correct voltage for your area. Some devices have a 110 to 220 voltage switch where the default setting is 220V. Verify that this switch is set to 110V. Press and hold the POWER button, and unplug it from the wall outlet at the same time.

What should I do if my AV receiver turns itself off?
