Something might be wrong with your remote control. Press the POWER button on the front of the recorder. If it turns on, check the remote control solutions below.

Buttons don’t work

Unplug the unit for two minutes and then plug it back in. Turn it on and try again.

No sound

If you have the CD recorder connected to your A/V receiver, make sure all the connections are snug.

Headphones may be connected. Try unplugging them.

OPT or DIG flashes on the display when attempting to record digitally

The external player may not be compatible with the digital or coaxial inputs on the recorder. You’ll need to do an analog recording.

The Remote Control Doesn’t Work

Something might be between the remote and the remote sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path.

Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. Put new batteries in the remote.

You might need to drain the remote’s microprocessor: remove batteries and press the number 1 button for at least 60 seconds. Release the 1 button and replace the batteries.
