amplifier section. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet immediately and contact the dealer or our company’s support.

– If the power indicator blinks at approximately 0.3

second intervals: The protection circuit may have tripped due to playback at high volume. Reduce the volume for playback. Alternatively, the wires in the speaker cables may have touched the rear panel or other wires. Connect the wires so they do not protrude

from the speaker jacks. If the same symptoms such as being unable to turn the unit on happen repeatedly, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet immediately and contact the dealer or our company’s support.

Connected to an SSID different to the SSID selected

0 Some access points allow you to set multiple SSIDs for

one unit. If you use the automatic setting button on such a router, you may end up connecting with a different SSID from the SSID you wanted to connect to. Use the connection method requiring you to enter a password if this happens.

Playback is interrupted and communication does not work

0 Shorten the distance from the access point or remove

obstacles to improve visibility, and try again. Place the unit away from microwave ovens or other access points. It is recommended to place the access point and the unit in the same room.

0 If there is a metallic object near the unit, wireless LAN

connection may not be possible as the metal can effect on the radio wave.

0 When other access point are used near the unit, several

issues such as interrupted playback and communication may occur. You can avoid these issues by changing the channel of the access point. For instructions on changing channels, see the instruction manual provided with the access point.
