Troubleshooting

It's often easy to mistake incorrect operation for trouble and malfunction of the unit. If you think there is something wrong with the
component, check the points below first. If the problem persists, contact you nearest Pioneer-authorized service center and have them
check over the unit.
Power does not come on
• Check that the unit is plugged into a standard AC power outlet.
• If the unit is connected to another component's power output,
check that the other component is switched on.
No sound when playing a disc
• Check that all connections to the amplifier are correct and that
all interconnects are firmly connected.
Can't record
• Check that all connections to the amplifier and any other
components are correct and that all interconnects are firmly
connected.
• Check that the disc you're trying to record onto hasn't already
been finalized. If it has, use another disc, or erase the TOC (CD-
RW only) – pages 52–54.
• Check that you've selected the correct input. Use the
button to switch inputs.
• Check that the recording level is not set too low – pages 48, 66–
71.
Recorded sound is distorted
• Check that all connections to the amplifier and any other
components are correct and that all interconnects are firmly
connected.
• There may be interference from a nearby TV. Switch the TV off
during recording, or move the unit further away.
• Check that the recording level is not set too high – pages 48, 66–
71.
• Some analog sources output a very high level signal that may
distort the recording. In this case, turn down the recording level
– pages 68–71.
• Check that the disc is not warped, damaged or dirty – page 73.
