TROUBLESHOOTING
If you believe your CD player is failing to work properly, check the following troubleshooting table for tips. Sometimes simple mistakes in setup or operation may appear like serious problems. There are also times when the problem in question may be caused by something else other than your CD player, and at times like these you should check any other electronic devices being used at the same time.
If the problem in question continues to persist even after checking the troubleshooting table below and taking whatever corrective action is recommended, contact your nearest Pioneer Service Station or contact the store from which you purchased your player for further assistance.
