Troubleshooting
If you have problems with your system, look through this chart
and see if you can solve the problem yourself before calling your
dealer or TEAC service center.
No power
eCheck the connection to the AC power supply. Check and

it is, the switch is turned on. Make sure there is power to the
AC outlet by plugging another item such as a lamp or fan.

the FUNCTION button.
