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 X-RAY V 3 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.
