Sony DAV-DX255 System Questions & Answers
Getting an error display as
Turn off your unit at the power button. Check speaker outputs for a short circuit - also check other end of speaker cables for a short. If you can't find an obvious problem then disconnect all speakers and power up the unit. If all is OK then connect speakers one at a time (this should be done with the unit powered OFF) and power up after each conection. This should identify which output is causing the problem.
If that does not work then it's an internal fault that will require a service engineer to identify - but I hope that is not the case!
Subwoofer with speaker wire?
Back in the old days, subwoofers were powered by the voltage from your receiver, through speaker wire.
Nowadays, subwoofers have their own power, hence not having speaker wire connections anymore.
It's unlikely that you'll be able to connect your old subwoofer to your new receiver.
You'd need to get a new one, which if you don't mind buying closeout, can be found on eBay pretty cheap.
Hi i want to know why when I use my sony cd-DX 225 DAV two small speakers do not work
It hard to determine exactly what it is you're speaking of, but if say the 2 surround speakers aren't working, you may have your unit switched wrong, hooked up wrong, etc. If you had amplifier damage on those 2 channels, the unit would not turn on at all. For more information, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. Thank you.
Push power protector
I brought the unit to an authorized Sony repair depot and they concluded that all the power transistors were fried. They replaced the system board under warranty (at no charge) and the system has functioned perfectly since. Thanks for your help. -Steve.
How to solve push power
F61 usually means the amp has detected a short or a severe microprocessor error.
Generally speaking, an amp attempts to protect itself from heat, shorts, overloads and operator exuberance by refusing to turn on or stay on.
Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output or marginally low impedance loading by the speakers; and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.
You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.
If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.
If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'nekkid'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced and competent hands-on tech.
Check for loose speaker connections at the speaker as another possible root cause for intermittent shutdown.

I can't get the surround
The problem has to do with the wire connection.please read the user's manual again to clarify the connection.
