Troubleshooting

In case you experience any problem with this unit, please take the time to look through these pages and see if you can solve the problem yourself before you call your dealer.

General

No power

eMake sure to plug the power cord into the AC outlet. Make sure there is power to the AC outlet by plugging another item such as a lamp or fan to test the outlet circuit.

Remote control does not work.

ePress the POWER button of the main unit to turn it on (page 12).

eIf the batteries are dead, change the batteries (page 12). eUse the remote control unit within the range (7m/23ft) and

point the remote control at the front panel. Clear any obstacles between the remote control unit and the main unit (page 12).

Other units with remote controls operate incorrectly.

eNote that other units with remote controls may operate incorrectly because of infrared light “overspill” when you operate the remote control of this unit.

Will not play.

eReload the disc with the label side UP. If not, insert the disc correctly.

eIf the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc.

eIf the unit is condensed with moisture, leave the unit for one or two hours with the power turned on (page 19).

eIf your disc is noticeably scratched do not use that type of disc.

Buttons do not work properly.

eIf another operation is still in process, wait a moment and try again.

Severe hum or noise is heard.

ePlace the unit as far away from a TV as possible.

There is no sound from the speakers or sound is distorted. eCheck that your amplifier and speakers are connected

securely (page 6).

eCheck the operation manual and settings of the amplifier. eIf the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc (page 5).

eDigital audio from a Super Audio CD cannot be output from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) terminals.

eThe sound is muted during pause. Press the PLAY button to resume normal playback.

Digital audio recording is not possible on another device eCopy-prohibit material cannot be copied digitally.

Noticeable difference in CD and Super Audio CD’s volume. eThat is because CDs and Super Audio CDs use different

recording methods.

Word Sync

The display shows “No Word!”

eNo word clock signal is being received. Check cables, connections, and settings of the external (optional), clock generator.

eThe word sync mode is selected, but there is no clock source. Turn the word sync mode off (page 16) (In this mode the player will operate with its own internal clock device).

The display shows “WRD UNLCK!”

eInvalid word sync signal is received. Check the setting of the clock generator.

i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal

ENGLISH

installed, then the following may apply.

If you have had the optional upgrade for i.LINK connection

 

No 5.1 multi-channel audio output

 

 

ePlayback the surround Super Audio CD. Super Audio CDs

 

may have more than one playback area, not all of which

 

contain multi-channel audio data. Choose another playback

 

area (see page 13).

 

eSet the multi-channel mode to “Multi ch” (page 17).

 

Note: If normal operation cannot be obtained at any time,

 

unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and plug it

 

again after one minutes. This resets the internal micro-

 

computer which can be disturbed during electrical storms,

 

power interruptions, excessive noise, etc.

 

Beware of condensation

 

When the unit (or a disc) is moved from a cold to a warm

 

place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a

 

danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on

 

the internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible.

 

To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the unit turned on for

 

one or two hours. Then the unit will stabilize at the

 

temperature of its surroundings.

 

Maintenance

 

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or

 

use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any

 

fluid completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as

 

they may damage the surface of the unit.
