•Sound quality could be affected by a strong magnetic field, such as a TV set. Locate such a device far from the CD receiver.
•If you have any devices that emit high intensity radio waves near the CD receiver, such as a cellular phone in operation (calling), noise may be generated.
•The CD receiver uses a rotating unit whose precision instrument generates faint hissing sound while reading a disc during playing back or searching a track; you may hear it in a very quiet environment.
Sound breaks off due to vibration.
•The CD receiver is designed for use as a stationary type; place it in a location with limited influence of vibration.
Headphones makes noise or no sound.
