Troubleshooting - Teac PD-505T Owner's Manual

If you experience a problem with this product, please take a
moment to review the following information before requesting ser-
vice. If it still does not operate correctly, contact the retailer where
you purchased the unit.
General
The unit does not turn on.
e Check that the power cord is completely plugged into the
power outlet. If the outlet is switched, confirm that the switch
is in the ON position.
e Connect a different electrical device to the outlet to confirm
that it is supplying power.
e If the automatic power saving function has caused the unit to
enter standby, press the remote control STANDBY/ON button
to turn the unit on again.
The unit automatically enters standby mode.
e This is because the automatic power saving function put the
unit into standby. Set the STANDBY/ON switch to STANDBY
once and then set it to ON again.
Change the automatic power saving setting if necessary
(page 20).
Remote control does not work.
e Turn the main unit on (page 14).
e If the batteries are exhausted, replace both of them with new
ones (page 9).
e The remote control will not work if there are obstructions
between it and the main unit. Point the remote control at the
front panel of the unit from a distance of less than about 5 m
(16 ft) (page 9).
A television or other device is operating improperly.
e The use of this unit's remote control might cause some
televisions and other devices with wireless remote control
functions to operate incorrectly.
There is a humming noise.
e If a connecting cable is near a power cord, fluorescent light or
similar cause of interference, increase the distance between
them as much as possible.
No sound is output.
e If a stereo amplifier is connected to this unit, adjust its volume.
e Reconfirm the connections with other equipment.
CD Transport
Playback is not possible.
e If the disc is upside down, reload it with the labeled side up.
e If the disc is dirty, wipe it clean.
e If a blank disc is loaded, replace it with a disc that has record-
ings on it.
e Depending on the quality and recording conditions of the
disc, some CD-R/CD-RW discs cannot be played back.
e This unit cannot play back unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs.
The sound skips.
e Vibrations will cause the sound to skip. Install this unit in a
stable location.
e If the disc is dirty, wipe it clean.
e Do not use discs that are scratched or cracked.
Clock sync
The CLOCK indicator does not stop blinking.
e Set clock synchronization to OFF when not using it.
e A clock signal to which the unit cannot synchronize might be
being input. Check the connections of the clock sync connec-
tors and the settings of the connected devices.
Since this unit uses a microcontroller, external noise and other inter-
ference can cause the unit to malfunction. If this occurs, unplug the
power cord, wait for a while, and then turn the unit on again and
restart operations.
Note about condensation
If this unit is brought from a cold outdoor environment into a
warm room, or the heater has just been turned on in the room
where it is located, for example, condensation might occur on
operating parts or lenses, resulting in improper operation. If this
occurs, leave the product on and wait one to two hours. This
should enable normal playback.
