Remember - the most vulnerable part of a CD playing system is the disc itself. The most likely cause of a disc not playing is that the disc itself is faulty, scratched or simply dirty. Never open the case of the A3.2 CD yourself, as this will invalidate the guarantee. If none of the above actions effect a cure, please contact your dealer or Musical Fidelity service agent.
