topic Error Messge &quot;offset&quot; in Portable Audio https://community.sony.ie/t5/portable-audio/error-messge-quot-offset-quot/m-p/561520#M272 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Just got a brand new CDX-GT450U stereo (the previous one - same model - gave up after a few days and select knob and buttons were making random selections as to what they did) and now this one after a couple of weeks is displaying Offset (the sound started crackling and lowering for a day before this message showed up). I can't believe that two units would fail after such a short period.</P><P>Electrical connections have been checked professionaly and they are OK.</P><P>The manual just says internal malfunction - not much help. Leaving the unit on resulted in either severe static on playing a CD or the CD playing normally for a short while. Tried several CDs which had played fine on this unit before.</P><P>Anyone have any thoughs on the possible problem? It has been rather cold and misty over the last few days.</P><P>Thanks</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 15 Dec 2012 16:43:59 GMT hillneerg 2012-12-15T16:43:59Z Error Messge "offset" https://community.sony.ie/t5/portable-audio/error-messge-quot-offset-quot/m-p/561520#M272 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Just got a brand new CDX-GT450U stereo (the previous one - same model - gave up after a few days and select knob and buttons were making random selections as to what they did) and now this one after a couple of weeks is displaying Offset (the sound started crackling and lowering for a day before this message showed up).
