Troubleshooting—Continued

Tuner

Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, the Auto Preset function doesn’t preset all stations, or the FM ST indicator doesn’t light up when tuned to a stereo FM station.

•Check the antenna connections (see pages 16 and 17).

•Change the position of the antenna (see page 32).

•Move the CBX-300 away from a nearby TV or computer.

•Cars or airplanes can cause noisy interference.

•The radio signal will be weakened if it has to pass through a concrete wall before reaching the antenna.

•Switch to Mono mode and listen in mono. The FM ST indicator will go off (see page 32).

•When listening to an AM station, noise may be heard when you operate the remote controller.

•If none of the above improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna (see page 17).

If a power outage occurs or the power cable is disconnected.

• If there’s no power for a long time, the radio presets will be lost. In this case, preset them again (see pages 33 and 34).

Can’t adjust the frequency of the radio.

• Use the remote controller’s TUNING [ ]/[ ] buttons to change the frequency of the radio (see page 32).

RDS doesn’t work (European models only).

•The FM station you are tuned to doesn’t support RDS.

•The radio signal is weak. Change the position of the antenna. If that doesn’t work, install an outdoor FM antenna (see page 17).

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn’t work properly.

•Replace the battery with a new one.

•The remote controller is too far away from the CBX-300, or there’s an obstacle between them (see page 12).

•The CBX-300’s remote control sensor is being subjected to bright light (inverter-type ﬂuorescent light or sunlight).

•The CBX-300 is located behind the tinted glass doors of a audio rack or cabinet.

External Components

No sound is heard from your turntable.

•Make sure the turntable has a built-in phono equalizer. If the turntable doesn’t have a phono equalizer built-in, you must provide one.

Timers

The timers don’t work.

•Make sure the clock has been set correctly (see page 40).

•Timed operation will fail if the CBX-300 is on at the speciﬁed On time, so make sure it’s set to Standby (see page 44).

•The timer may overlap with another timer. If you program several timers, make sure they don’t overlap (see page 42).

•If you press the [SLEEP] or [TIMER] button while a timed operation is in progress, the timer will be cancelled and the CBX-300 won’t turn off at the speciﬁed Off time (see page 44).

•Make sure the timer is set to suitable volume setting (see page 44).
