TROUBLESHOOTING:

- If a disc will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded cor- rectly (label side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt, scratches, etc.

- If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable con- nections, if they are ok, check your amplifier or receiver.

- If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not as- sume that the CD layer is defective. Many CD’s are recorded out of spec and will skip on most or all CD players. Before sending the unit for repair, try playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
