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 make sure the AC source is not a switched outlet and that, if 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.

No sound from speakers.

eSelect the source by pressing the corresponding button or the FUNCTION button.

eAdjust the volume.

ePull out the headphone's plug from the PHONES jack.

eIf the muting indicator is lit, press the MUTING button. (When "CD" is selected, press the PLAY button to start playback.)

The sound is noisy.

eThe unit is too close to a TV or similar appliances. Install the unit apart from them, or turn them off.

Remote control doesn't work.

ePress the POWER switch to turn the unit on. eIf the batteries are dead, change the batteries.

eUse remote control unit within the range (5m /15ft) and point at the front panel.

eClear obstacles between the remote control unit and the main unit.

eIf a strong light is near the unit, turn it off.

CD Player

Cannot play.

eLoad a disc with the playback side facing down. eIf the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc.

eA blank disc has been loaded. Load a prerecorded disc. eThis unit cannot play CD-RW discs.

eDepending on the disc, etc. it may not be possible to play back CD-R discs. Try again with another disc.

eYou cannot play back unfinalized CD-R discs. Finalize such a disc in a CD recorder and try again.

Sound skips.

ePlace the unit on a stable place to avoid vibration and shock. eIf the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc.

eDon't use scratched, damaged or warped discs.

The SHUFFLE button doesn't work.

eShuffle playback won't work until you clear the programmed contents. If you want to clear the programmed contents, press the PROGRAM button and the STOP button.

Tuner

Cannot listen to any station, or signal is too weak. eTune in the station properly.

eRotate the unit or FM antenna wire for the best reception position.

Though the broadcast is stereo, it sounds monaural.

ePress the FM MODE button.

Cassette Tape Deck

The cassette holder cannot be closed.

The buttons don’t work.

eInsert a cassette tape securely.

Sound is distorted or noisy.

eClean and demagnetize the heads. eUse Normal tape.

Cannot record.

eIf the safety tabs of the cassette tape have been broken off, cover the holes with adhesive tape.

eClean and demagnetize the heads.

Record Player

Cannot play.

eLoosen the screw, and detach the stylus guard. (The stylus guard is a white plastic cover that protects the stylus during transportation. Failing to remove this guard will not allow the needle to contact the groove of the record and no sound will be heard!)

eIf the stylus is worn-out, change the stylus. eSelect the correct playback speed.

Sound skips.

ePlace the unit on a stable place to avoid vibration and shock. Make sure the unit is level both front to back and side to side.

eClean the surface of the record.

eDon’t use scratched, damaged or warped records.

If normal operation cannot be recovered, unplug the power cord from the outlet and plug it again.

If the unit is disconnected from the power supply, the settings kept in memory (clock, preset stations, timer setting) will be erased.
