Musical Fidelity M6SCD Instructions For Use Manual page 16

Basic problem-solving with a CD player is similar to troubleshooting other electrical or electronic equipment. Always check the most obvious possible causes
first, such as the following examples:
Problem
No power / display
No playback when disc is loaded, "NO
DISC" displayed
No audio output, or output too low
No Display
Hum
Miss-tracking (sound jumping)
No audio output from USB input
Not detected when connected to USB
Dropouts in sound (USB input)
Remote control range has reduced
This product contains a CD mechanism, which complies with the PHILIPS/SONY red book CDDA standard. It
is guaranteed to play all disks with the "compact disc digital audio" badge (see left), as well as good quality CD-
R and –R/W discs without any problems.
Please note that due to "piracy" concerns, some record companies/pressing plants are creating disks that do not
adhere to this standard. Such disks may –or- may not play in some –or- all CD player products of any
manufacturer. We advise caution in using these disks, as the information contained therein has been deliberately
manipulated and can cause audio degradation and/or playability problems.

Press "DISPLAY" button on remote to reactivate
display. Set display to comfortable brightness level by
pressing repeatedly.
Insert plug securely
Check cable is connected at both ends.
N.B. some esoteric cables have internal wiring
intentionally disconnected/modified. For best results on
all inputs analogue AND digital, please use good quality
screened coax; signal and screen directly connected both
ends.
Move player away from loudspeakers etc.
Clean disc surface

See software section for relevant OS setup information
Please check device is listed in device manager
(Windows®) or in Sound, audio devices for MAC OS X.
Make sure the Musical Fidelity USB audio device is
selected as the default OUTPUT device.
Check USB port functions with another device.
Check and replace cable
Check USB port functions with another device.
Install the supplied device driver for Windows®
XP/Vista 7. These operating systems do not, at time of
writing support 24 bit 192kHz USB audio.
Avoid sharing the USB port with other devices, if
possible.
At times an application (program) may intervene,
sometimes invisibly e.g. a virus scanner. When this
happens, computer's resources are temporarily used up,
and playback may suffer. This is not a fault. Try running
fewer applications if possible.
Change batteries for a new set
Ensure there is no obstruction between the remote
control and player front
Change batteries – for a new set
