TROUBLESHOOTING:

- If the disk will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded cor-
rectly (label side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt,
scratches, etc.
- If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connec-
tions. If they are okay, check your amplifier or receiver.
- If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not
assume that the CD player is defective. Many CDs are record-
ed out of spec and will skip on most or all CD players. Before
sending the unit in for repair, try playing a CD that you are sure
plays properly.
