TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom

Loss of power Connection with the source unit is not recognized.

Magazine cannot be loaded.

“No Disc” sign appears when searching for discs.

Noise, skipping

Mechanism does not function.

lf the same phenomenon still occurs after checking the above, or it is impossible to remove the magazine, please consult your local dealer.

Cause

Bad connection. The length of the CeNET

cable wiring is more than

65.62 ft (20m). Address switch num-

bers are the same.

Magazine inserted wrongly.

A magazine is already in the player.

Distorted magazine. There is no CD in the

magazine.

The installation selector levers are set to different positions on both sides.

The unit installation direction and the installation selector lever positions do not match.

Disc bent or badly damaged.

Disc is very dirty. Mechanical error.

Remedy

Check connections. Connect the cable again. Rewire the connection so that the length of cable is less than 65.62 ft

(20m).

When the 2 CD changers are connected, set the address switch so that they do not have the same address number. Refer to the “Example of address switch setting” in the section titled “IDENTIFICATION OF PARTS”.

Insert correctly.

Eject the magazine and insert the other.

Buy New Magazine CAA-122. After inserting a CD into the magazine, reload into the CD changer.

Set the installation selector levers to the same position on both sides .

Set the unit installation direction and the installation selector lever positions to match each other. When installed at an angle , change the installation selector lever to a position (H, 45, V) not prone to noise or sound loss.

Compare with another disc. If bad, discard the damaged disc.

Clean the disc.

1. Referring to section “INSTALLATION”, check the three angle of installation selector levers are properly set. If not, set them at the proper position for the angle of installation.

2. Check whether the CD magazine can be ejected by pressing the CD magazine eject button, then insert a new CD magazine.

Caution

• Adjust the installation selector levers into the correct locations. Setting the locations incorrectly or in varied positions will cause skipping.

• Do not move the installation selector levers while the unit is in use. This will cause damage to the mechanism and the disc.
