possible causes first. To give you a few ideas of what to look for, check the following:

OFF, then turn it ON again and restart operations.

● Although the CD-160 is capable of
playing almost all CD, CD-R and CD-RW
discs, because of the lower reflectivity
of recordable discs compared with
ordinary CDs, you should be aware that

and CD-RW discs may not play properly,
or at all: dirty pickup lens, dirty or
scratched disc, condensation on the
