TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptoms Remedies/Causes
General
• Sound cannot be heard from the speakers. • Adjust the volume to the optimum level.
• Check the cords and connections.
• This unit does not work at all. Reset the unit.
• “AUX IN” cannot be selected. Check the “SRC SELECT” = “AUX IN” setting (see “Menu
operations”).
FM/AM
• SSM automatic presetting does not work. Store stations manually.
• Static noise while listening to the radio. Connect the antenna firmly.
• “AM” cannot be selected. Check the “SRC SELECT” = “AM” setting (see “Menu
operations”).
Disc playback
• Disc cannot be played back. Insert the disc correctly.
• CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back.
• Tracks on the CD-R/CD-RW cannot be
skipped.
• Insert a finalized CD-R/CD-RW.
• Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW with the component which you used for
recording.
• Disc can be neither played back nor
ejected.
• Unlock the disc.
• Eject the disc forcibly.
• Disc sound is sometimes interrupted. • Stop playback while driving on rough roads.
• Change the disc.
• Check the cords and connections.
• “NO DISC” appears on the display. Insert a playable disc into the loading slot.
• “PLEASE” and “EJECT” appear alternately
on the display.
Press 0, then insert a disc correctly.
MP3/WMA playback
• Disc cannot be played back. • Use a disc with MP3/WMA tracks recorded in a format compliant
with ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2, Romeo, or Joliet.
• Add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to the file names.
• Noise is generated. Skip to another track or change the disc. (Do not add the extension
code <.mp3> or <.wma> to non-MP3 or WMA tracks.)
• A longer readout time is required
(“READING” keeps flashing on the display).
Do not use too many hierarchical levels and folders.
• Tracks are not played back in the order you
have intended.
Playback order is determined when the files are recorded.
• The elapsed playing time is not correct. This sometimes occurs during playback. This is caused by how the
tracks are recorded on the disc.

(e.g. album name).
This unit can only display alphabets (upper case), numbers, and a
limited number of symbols.
