CMT-S20B mini hifi : dab scan always when switching on

[hwolny]

I have a CMT-S20B mini hifi (the one with both FM and DAB radio).

Every time I switch on the hifi, a DAB scan is performed which lasts about 1 minute.

This happens even if I have previously used the hifi with a DAB staion saved on one of the presets. Is there a way to stop this very annoying dab scan EVERY TIME I turn on the hifi?

Thanks.

Good afternoon all

Recieved some feedback from Sony today.  They have request that you contact them in regards to getting this repaired or exchanged for another one as its likely to be a hardware fault which needs rectifying.

Contact details are HERE or Repair Centre HERE

Thank you.

Hi,

I know that this thread is old, but I had this same issue, contacted support, and got a solution you can do yourself:

Reset the radio to factory settings.

This is how to do it:

• Disconnect the power cord for 60 secs, and then reconnect, and then turn on the system.

• Hold down the stop button (■) on the remote and the EQ button on the radio until “RESET OK” appears.

After the factory reset the scanning on powerup stopped.

Hope this wil help others with this issue as well.

I tried the above method and can confirm it DOES NOT WORK. The radio still does a DAB scan whenever it is switched on.

Rubbish product. Returned to vendor for full refund. Totally ruined Sony's
quality reputation in my view. Never buy Sony again.
