System turns off!

Need some help, ive got a Sony CMT-CPX11 system, and when i turn it on, it turns off automatically after 1 or 2 seconds and then the stand-by light continues to flash. It cant seem to stay on. Any suggestions on why this is occuring? Thanks

I have the same problem. Try to unplug the CPX11 and leave it for a minute. Plug it in and it might work, my CPX does so.

The flashing standby light indicates the system detects a fault. When the ?/1 (?/1 is the symbol for the standby button lamp) indicator flashes Immediately unplug the mains lead and check the following items. ? If your system has a voltage selector, is the voltage selector set to the correct voltage? Check the voltage for your region, then make sure the voltage selector is set correctly. ? Are the + and ? speaker cords short circuited? ? Are you using the supplied speakers? ? Is anything blocking the ventilation holes on the rear of the system? (The thermal cut out may be operating but more likely after a longer period of use) Check all the above items and fix any problems found. After ?/1 indicator stops flashing, reconnect the mains lead and turn on the system. I f the indicator still flashes, or if the cause of the problem cannot be found even after checking all the above items, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Stuck in standby

You can reset all to factory settings, which may help; unplug power, put back in switch on with power button. Then press together "tape", "CD" and the power button. You may need to reset the clock before it will work. If you need the manual, here is the link; http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/2048589112.pdf check page 26 for the reset if not clear - nothing else in there that seems to be related, but you may find something i missed. Hope this helps :)

WIthout knowing the specific model, I can't be 100% sure, but a number of models in that vintage had a problem with cracked ribbin cables that go to the drawer unit. Replacing the cable usually fixed the problem. What is the specific model number?
