• Check the outlet by plugging in another device.

• Adjust volume setting.

• Make sure you’ve selected the correct function.

• Adjust the antenna for better reception.

•Try turning off electrical appliances near the unit, such as hair dryers, vacuum cleaners, or fluorescent lights.

• Make sure you’ve put a CD in the tray.

• Make sure the CD’s label is facing up.

•Try another CD.

• Make sure that Pause mode is not activated.

• Make sure CD function is selected.

• Clean the CD (as explained in “Maintenance”).

• Check CD for warping, scratches, or other damage.

• Check for vibration or shock that may affect the unit; move the set if necessary.

TM9049 EN 1/7/05, 10:19 AM14

Maintenance

Cleaning the exterior

• Disconnect the system from AC power before cleaning the exterior of the unit with a soft dust cloth

• Clean the exterior with a soft clean cloth or slightly moistened chamois leather. DO NOT use solvents as it may cause damage to the unit.

Handling CDs

• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs by the edges, or by one edge and the hole.

• Do not affix labels or adhesive tapes to the label surfaces. Do not scratch or damage the label.

• CDs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) CDs

• Make sure CDs are stored in their original case after use. Keep them away from damp, humid or abnormally heated places.

Cleaning CDs

• Dirty CDs can cause poor sound quality. Always keep CDs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.

• If a CD becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on CDs. Also, never clean CDs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to disc surface.

CD Lens Care

• When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause the system to output poor sound quality. To clean the lens you will need to purchase a CD lens cleaner which can maintain the output sound quality of your system. For instructions on cleaning the CD lens, refer to the ones accompanying the lens cleaner.

Cassettes

•To protect your recordings from accidental erasure on one or both sides of your cassette, snap out the tab at the top of the cassette. If you decide later to record on the tape, seal the hole with a piece of adhesive tape. (Refer to diagram)

• Quit Slacking - A little bit of slack in your tapes can cause scratches on the tape, or worse yet, the tape could break. If you notice some slack in the tape, use a pencil to tighten it up before you insert it.
