SOUND SKIPS
• Is the CD dirty? If it is, clean it by following the instructions on page 22.
• Is the disc warped, scratched or cracked? If the disc is damaged in any way
don't attempt to play that disc as it may cause damage to the CD lens.
• Is there shock or vibration affecting the system? if so, you should re-locate
the system to some other firm, level and stable surface.
DISTORTED OR NoisY RECORDINGS
Are the tape heads dirty? If they are (or if you're not sure), follow the
instructions on page 23 to clean the tape heads.
Have the tape heads been magnetized? If yes (or if you're not sure),
purchase a Head Demagnetizing Cassette which should be available from
most audio equipment stores.
REMOTE CONTROL WONIT WORK
Is the system plugged into a working AC outlet? Try plugging it into one
that you know will work.
Is the system on? Press POWER to turn system on.
Have you selected the correct function when pressing on the buttons? For
example, if the system is in CD mode and you try tuning to a particular
radio frequency, the remote control is not going to look like it's working.
In such cases, press FUNCTION to select the correct function first, then
press on the buttons.
Are the batteries weak? Try replacing old batteries with some fresh ones.
(Refer to page 18 for instructions on replacing batteries.)
Are you pointing the remote control directly at the system while
pressing the buttons? You should be, because the remote control
sensor at the system is right next to the Preset EQ indicators at the
right corner of the display. *-"
Are you too far from the system when using the remote control? The
remote control sensor can only sense signals (from the remote control)
within a limited distance. So move closer towards the system.
Are there any obstacles between the remote control and the system? If
there are, move all objects standing in the way between the remote
control and the system.
