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 pages 11 to 12).

Tuner

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.

•Change the position of the antenna (see page 30).

•Move the CD receiver away from a nearby TV or computer.

•Try setting FM mode to mono (see page 30).

•Move power cords and speaker cables as far away as possible from the tuner’s antenna.

•When listening to an AM station, noise may be heard when you operate the remote controller.
