Sony XAV-77 request pin code to unlock after loss of power

    SONY DVD monitor XAV-77 requesting lost PIN CODE. The manual has been lost. Sony answer is to take it to their repair shop and be charged for product support. Apparently its a serious of command keys from the remote and the unit itself. These series of command will unlock or clear the internal memory of the unit and make way for another, they are just not willing to give it. If I could get intructions on what keys to press that would be great.

    Thanks

    Hi

    This unit has only got four segments to enter the pin. If you move forward one to the next digit after enter the first four digits it just comes back to the first one. I have also tried 0000, 1111, 2222, 3's and so forth all the way to 9999 and it still wont open. The original installer 3 years ago don't keep records of such pins we've tried already, and Sony won't give the product support necessary. Awaiting further instructions.

    Thanks

    Sony Australia Product support is not willing to hand out the code for free. They've adviced me to take it to their repair shop to be charged $80 to reset the unit. The code is a four digit pin and even if I press the reset button on the unit it still request the code or reset pin. The pin was in the original manual which has been misplaced. Does anyone know what the master reset pin is?

The code is five numbers, but there is no fixed code, your pin was set and assigned when you purchased the unit.

If you have lost the pin code the only way out is contacting the seller, that can access the code associate with your unit, the ony alternative is trying all 99999 codes.

Sony XAV-AX70BT Security Unlock.

You have to contact the Seller or Sony. details in the link

Welcome to the Sony Community!

We are sorry to hear about the issue that you are having with the XAV-60 car stereo. The code that the car stereo AV center is looking for is a 4-digit security code that is programmed into your system during the installation process. This code is generally needed when one of the following issues occurs on the car stereo:
  • the AV center was reset.
  • the screen locks up on the unit.
If you purchased the vehicle from an individual, contact the seller of the car to see if they can give you the code. If you had your AV center professionally installed, we recommend that you contact the installer to see if they are able to provide you with the code.

If the seller of the vehicle or the installer is not able to assist you, or if you installed the system yourself, please contact the Customer Experience Center using this link:
