Understanding MCE Issues

Typical MCE Opening Challenges

Sony CAV-M1000ES is Not Installed

When you double-click your MCE file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Sony CAV-M1000ES installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your MCE with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: Another MCE-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Sony CAV-M1000ES Requires Update

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Sony CAV-M1000ES Common Source Infrared Command File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of Sony CAV-M1000ES if you don't have the right version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

Tip: If you right-click on your MCE file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Regardless, most of the MCE file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Sony CAV-M1000ES installed.

Other MCE File Opening Causes

Assuming you have the right Sony CAV-M1000ES version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening MCE files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening MCEs. Additional factors include:

• MCE file references in the Windows Registry are broken
• Accidental deletion of the description of the MCE file in the Windows registry
• Defective install of a MCE program, such as Sony CAV-M1000ES
• The MCE itself is corrupted
