Troubleshooting

In general, refer any service problems to your Classé dealer. Before contacting your dealer, however, check to see if the problem is listed here. If it is, try the suggested solutions. If none of these solves the problem, contact your Classé dealer.

1 My disc is skipping.

3Gently clean the disc itself using a damp, soft cloth, wiping along the radius of the disc rather than around the circumference. (Cleaning discs in the manner minimizes the chance of damaging the disc.)

3The disc itself may already be damaged. Try several other discs, to see whether the problem is widespread or limited to a particular disc.

2 There is no sound and the Standby LED is not lit.

3Ensure the player is plugged into the AC mains, and that the AC mains are operating normally.

3Check that the main power switch on the rear of the unit is on.

3Your display may be set to timeout, and the CDP-502 may simply be in pause or stop. Touch the screen to reactivate it so you can see the state of the unit, or simply press the Play key on the remote control.

3Unplug the unit for at least thirty seconds and then plug it in again; try powering it up. (Sometimes a brownout or short-term loss of power might require a restart.)

3Verify that the AC mains is not out of range. The unit will automatically attempt to protect itself from improper AC mains voltages by not powering up.

3If none of these solutions work, please consult your Classé dealer for assistance. There are no user-serviceable parts inside your unit.

3.A disc was inserted, but the machine rejected it and asked for another disc to be inserted.

3Check that the disc is compatible with your unit. The CDP-502 will play CD Audio, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, MP3, WMA, Video-CD, and S-VCD discs.

3Ensure that the disc surface is clean, and try reinserting it.

3Check that the label side of the CD is facing up.

4.The disc is spinning but there is no sound in one or both channels.

3Check that both interconnect cables are properly connected between the outputs of the CDP-502 and the inputs of your preamplifier.

3Ensure that the preamplifier/amplifier units being used are properly configured. (You may need to consult those units’ owner’s manuals for more information.)
