Troubleshooting chart (continued)
Symptom The remote control does not operate. Possible cause Is the AC power lead of the unit plugged in? Is the battery polarity correct? Are the batteries dead? Is the distance or angle incorrect? Is there a strong light shinning on the remote sensor? Note: If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by resetting it.
Before transporting the unit
Remove the CD from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with disc left inside can damage the unit.
Factory reset, clearing all memory
Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by mode. Whilst pressing down the button, press the ON/STAND-BY button until CLEAR ALL appears.
Symptom The radio makes unusual noises continuously. Possible cause Is the unit placed near the TV or computer? Is the FM aerial or AM loop aerial placed properly? Move the aerial away from the AC power lead if it is located nearby.

Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit. Caution: This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock, timer settings, tuner preset and CD programme.

If trouble occurs

When this product is subjected to strong external interference (mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunction. If such a problem occurs, do the following: 1 Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again. 2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.
