TROUBLE SHOOTING

If THE DISC WILL NOT PLAY, check to see if the disc was loaded correctly (written side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt, scratches, etc.

If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connections. If they are okay , check your amplifier or receiver.

If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not assume that the CD player is defective. Many CDs are recorded out of spec and will skip an most or all CD players. Before sending the unit in for repair, try playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
