Questions and answers
AUDIO NOT GOING ON
The Sony HCD-BX5BT audio may not be working due to several possible reasons:
1. Output Connection Issues – Ensure that headphones or speakers connected to the PHONES (stereo mini jack) are properly plugged in and functional.
2. Function Selection – Verify that the correct function (e.g., Bluetooth, CD, Tuner) is selected using the [FUNCTION] button.
3. Firmware or Bluetooth Issues – If using Bluetooth, check the firmware version and address by entering BT Test Mode to confirm the module is functioning.
4. CD Block Issues – The CD block is designed to operate without adjustment, but if audio is missing from CDs, try using a test disc (YEDS-18) to check functionality.
5. Electrical or Circuit Issues – Inspect the wiring and circuit connections on the power board and audio input sections for any faults.
6. Mute or Low Volume Settings – Ensure that the device is not muted and the volume is turned up.
If none of these resolve the issue, further troubleshooting of internal components may be required.
