Troubleshooting

In case of any trouble with this unit, please take the time to look through this chart and see if you can solve the problem yourself before you call your dealer or a TEAC service center.

General

No sound.

eCheck the connection to the AC wall outlet. eCheck the connection to the amplifier.

eCheck that speakers are connected to the amplifier.

eEnsure that T-H300DAB and connected amplifier are turned on.

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

eIf a TV is near the unit, turn it off.

eInstall the antenna again after locating the best reception position.

eAn external antenna may be required.

Noise is excessive.

ePoor location and/or direction of the antenna. eTransmitting station is too far away.

Excessive distortion in the sound of stereo broadcasts.

eCheck the speaker system connections.

Though the FM broadcast is stereo, it sounds monaural.

ePress the FUNCTION/FM MODE button.

Remote control doesn’t work.

ePress the POWER switch of the main unit to turn it to standby.

eIf the batteries are dead, change the batteries. eUse the remote control within a 5-m range and

point it 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.

All the preset stations are erased.

eIf the power supply is interrupted for 15 days or longer, the setting kept in memory (such as preset stations) are erased. When this happens, the internal battery that is used to retain settings in memory is exhausted and must be recharged by having the unit connected to power for at least 3 days.

DAB tuner

No sound.

eEnsure that the T-H300DAB has been able to locate DAB stations.

“NO stations Available” appears on the display.

eCheck that antenna is connected.

eEnsure that DAB coverage exists in your area.

Cannot access secondary services.

eAt the time of publishing not many secondary services are available, this will increase as more DAB stations start broadcasting. If a secondary service station is available, the secondary indicator >> will be displayed next to the station name.

Display goes out or displayed “service off air”.

eThis may occur if a broadcaster changes the label of a service or removes a label whilst you are listening to it. The T-H300DAB will try to retune to this station, or alternatively follow the procedure for auto tune on page 15.

Cannot listen to the selected station.

eEnsure you have pressed the SELECT/TUNING MODE knob when you want to listen to your selection. The station you are currently listening to will be displayed on the first line of the display, as you scroll through the station order list the second line will show other station options. Press the SELECT/TUNING MODE knob to activate your selection.

A burbling sound is heard on some stations.

eDAB like other digital media is good at producing quality audio from a low level signal, however if this signal level is too low a ‘burbling’ sound can sometimes be heard. To reduce this, try repositioning your antenna to gain maximum signal strength.

If normal operation cannot be recovered, unplug the power cord from the outlet and plug it in again. This resets the internal micro-computer which can be disturbed during electrical storms, power interruptions, et cetera.
