1. My Prodigy won't turn on. ensure the power cable is inserted
into the rear of the Prodigy and is connected to a power source. if
the AC outlet you are using has an on/off switch make sure that it is
switched to the on position.
2. My CD is stuck. What should I do? The Prodigy has an
emergency CD ejection procedure. if an error message is displayed
on the blue LCD or if the CD fails to eject, press and hold the eJeCT
button for 5 seconds. The individual CD player - left or right - will
reset and the CD will automatically eject. This function operates
independently of the other CD player and mixer, ensuring your gig
is not interrupted. in the extremely unlikely event, when any of the
CD players fail to eject after completing the above procedure, turn
off the unit for 10 seconds to reset the Prodigy and then turn the unit
back on.
3. What audio quality should I burn my CDs? B-52 Profes-
sional recommends encoding your music for CD-r and CD-rW discs at
160 kbps to ensure high-quality playback. CD-r and CD-rW should
be burned at no greater speeds than 2x or 4x.
4. The Prodigy is skipping excessively or having trouble
reading when using CD-R discs. How can I fix this? Many
CD-r and CD-rW brand discs have vastly different specifications.
ensure you follow these simple guidelines when burning your tracks
to a CD:
A. Make sure to burn audio at no faster than 2x or 4x speed.
The faster CDs are burned, the less likely the discs will be able to be
played back at the highest quality or at worst, be read by the CD
players.
B. use quality discs. Don't buy cheap generic discs. Buy blanks
discs from companies that have a reputation for manufacturing audio
/ media discs. if you have success with a specific brand - stay with it.
C. Look after your discs before and after you've burned them.
Taking them out of the CD player and not immediately putting them
into their cases leads to scratching. Placing discs face down on any
surface will cause to scratching and will affect playback.
5. I have changed settings and my Prodigy doesn't
perform as it used to. What should I do? execute MAsTer
reseT procedure as described in this manual. With the unit switched
off, turn the seArCH control knob completely counterclockwise. Hold
it in this position and turn the unit on using the power switch. The
LCD will display <clearALL> on the top line. once the <clearALL>
line automatically disappears, release the seArCH knob. The CD
player has now been reset. MAsTer reseT procedure must be done
separately for each side CD player.
6. None of these questions have solved my problem. Call B-
