Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD
pickup, tape heads, 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 (or cassette) 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.
Symptom Possible cause
Cannot record. Is the erase-prevention tab re-
moved?
Cannot record tracks with
proper sound quality. Is it a normal tape? (You cannot
record on a metal or CrO tape.)
Cannot erase completely.
Sound skipping. Is there any slack?
Is the tape stretched?
Cannot hear treble. Are the capstan, pinch roller, or
heads dirty?
Sound fluctuation.
Cannot remove the tape. If a power failure occurs during
playback, the heads remain en-
gaged with the tape. Do not open
the compartment with great
force.
Symptom Possible cause
The remote control does
not operate. Is the AC power cord of the unit
plugged in?
Is the battery polarity correct?
Are the batteries dead?
Is the distance or angle incor-
rect?
Does the remote control sensor
receive strong light?
Symptom Possible cause
The radio makes unusual
noises continuously. Is the unit placed near the TV or
computer?
Is the FM antenna or AM loop an-
tenna placed properly? Move the
antenna away from the AC power
cord if it's located nearby.
