Sony Walkman SRF-M37V AM/FM/Weather/TV Radio Questions & Answers
I believe I need to replace the internal battery
There is no internal battery on the Sony SRV-M37V. Presets are held in non-volatile RAM and don't need power to maintain the settings.
Your problem is that the hold switch is not disengaging. Either the contact below the switch has gotten gummed up and won't release, or perhaps the switch is broken.
You can try spraying a tiny (very tiny) amount of Contact Cleaner (available at Radio Shack for less than $5) into the switch. Or disassemble the unit to see why the switch isn't making contact like it should. Hope that helps!
After battery ran low, now
Make sure you don't have the HOLD button engaged. This button is what keeps your station buttons, power, etc., from accidently switching when you bump it.
This button is found on the top right hand side of the radio if you are looking down on the radio with the clock display facing you.
If the button is showing the red painted mark, you have the HOLD button engaged. Switch it off, and then press the Power button to turn on the radio.
No sound
If you are getting AM sound, but not FM, its because the headphones you are using are shielded for interference. This shielding is what is causing you not to be able to pickup FM, as the headphone wires are what is used as an FM antenna for the unit. Try using a CHEAPER set of headphones (Yes, I said cheaper). Cheaper headphones usually don't have the shielding. Usually these types of headphones have both wires for the headphones bound together as one wire.
The left side sound is out
This can be a failure of the connection jack inside the unit or the electronics that supply the signal to the headphone connection. Connectors like this can be purchased at radio shack. The unit will need to be opened up by removing the screws in the back to see if the jack is loose or damaged. You can then plan your next move. be it re solder the existing connector or replace the connector entirely. if you are lacking solder skills locate someone who can help or take the unit to a shop.
No more TV on Sony TV/weather/fm/am walkman srf-m37v.
There's nothing you can do. With the switch to digital broadcasting, the sound isn't on the same frequencies it used to be so this radio can't pick it up. Right now, nobody's offering a digital receiver for the sound. All your radio is good for now is the regular radio and weather broadcasts.
