First, ensure that all cables are securely connected and that the correct input is selected on the receiver. Check the volume level and ensure the 'Mute' function is not activated. If the issue persists, try connecting another device to test if the problem lies with the receiver or the connected device.
Connect the receiver to your TV using an HDMI cable if your TV supports HDMI. Alternatively, use component or composite cables for connection. Make sure to select the correct input on your TV and the receiver to enjoy audio from TV through the receiver's speakers.
To clean your Sony HT-6500DP, use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid using any chemical cleaners or solvents. Ensure that the system is turned off and unplugged before cleaning. Regularly check for dust accumulation around the vents and remove it gently to prevent overheating.
