Troubleshooting—Continued
Audio performance
• Audio performance will be at its best about 10 to 30 minutes after the CD receiver has been turned on and had time
to warm up.
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with speaker or power cables may degrade the sound quality, so don’t do it.
Playback jumps.
• The CD receiver is being subjected to vibration or the disc is scratched or dirty (see page 14).
Can’t add tracks to the playlist for memory playback.
• Make sure there’s a disc in the CD receiver. Also, you can only add valid track numbers. For example, if the CD
contains 11 tracks, you cannot add track #12.
The disc will not play.
• Make sure the disc has been loaded correctly, with the label-side facing up.
• Check to see if the surface of the disc is dirty (see page 14).
• If condensation is suspected, turn on the CD receiver and leave it for 1 hour before playing any discs.
• Some CD-R/RW discs may not be playable (see page 13).
It takes a long time for playback to start.
• It may take the CD receiver a while to read CDs that contain many tracks or files.
Can’t play MP3 discs.
• Use only ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 format discs (see page 13).
• The disc has not been finalized. Finalize the disc.
• MP3 files without a “.mp3” or “.MP3” filename extension are not recognized.
Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, the Auto Preset function doesn’t preset all stations, or
the ST indicator doesn’t light up when tuned to a stereo FM station.
• Check the antenna connections (see page 15).
• Change the position of the antenna (see page 38).
• Move the CD receiver away from a nearby TV or computer.
• Cars or airplanes can cause noisy interference.
• The radio signal will be weakened if it has to pass through a concrete wall before reaching the antenna.
• Try setting FM mode to mono (see page 38).
• Move power cords and speaker cables as far away as possible from the tuner’s antenna.
• If none of the above improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna (see page 16).
If a power outage occurs or the power cable is disconnected:
• If the preset stations are lost, preset them again (see pages 43, 44).
• The clock and timer settings will be lost. Set the clock and timers again (see pages 49, 50).
Can’t adjust the frequency of the radio.
• Use the Fast Reverse and Fast Forward [ ]/[ ] buttons to change the frequency of the radio (see page 38).
RDS doesn’t work.
• The FM station you are tuned to doesn’t support RDS.
• Install an outdoor FM antenna (see page 16).
• Change the position or direction of your outdoor FM antenna (see pages 16, 38).
• Move the FM antenna as far away as possible from fluorescent lights (see page 38).
