Troubleshooting— Continued
Trouble Possible Cause Remedy
AM reception is hindered
by a high-pitched noise?
Interference caused by your TV.
Move the AM loop antenna as far away as
possible from your TV.
Move the CR-L5 as far away as possible from
your TV.
Reception is hindered by a
crackling noise?
Interference is being caused by fluorescent
lights being turned on or off, or by the igni-
tion systems of passing cars.
Install an outdoor antenna as far away as pos-
sible from nearby roads.
Move your antenna as far away as possible
from fluorescent lights.
Adjust the position or direction of your out-
door antenna.
FM reception and stereo
separation are poor even
though the Tuning and FM
STEREO indicators are
shown. Tall buildings, mountains, or hills are caus-
ing wave reflections that interfere with the
main signal.
Try an FM antenna with better directionality.
The station’s signal is too strong. Try an indoor FM antenna.
Reception is noisy, inter-
mittent, and the FM STE-
REO indicator flickers?
You’re too far away from the transmitter. Or,
your FM antenna is in the wrong position or
pointing in the wrong direction. Or, the sta-
tion’s signal strength is poor.
Use the [FM MODE] button to select mono
mode (page 22).
Adjust the position, height, and direction of
your FM antenna.
Install an outdoor FM antenna, preferably one
with many elements. Installing an outdoor
antenna is a specialist job, so contact your
nearest dealer for advice (page 15).
The radio presets no longer
work?
The power cord has not been connected to a
wall outlet, or the power has been turned off
for an extended period.
Preset your favorite radio stations again
(page 22). The power cord must be plugged
into a wall outlet a few times each month in
order to preserve the presets (page 4).
The RDS (Radio Data Sys-
tem) doesn’t seem to work?
The current FM station does not support
RDS. Tune into a station that supports RDS
(page 23).
The signal strength is poor, or there’s too
much interference.
Install an outdoor FM antenna (page 15),
change the position or direction of your out-
door FM antenna, and keep it away from flu-
orescent lights.
CD playback skips?
The CR-L5 is subject to vibration.
Install the CR-L5 somewhere free of vibra-
tion.
The disc is dirty. Remove the disc and clean it (page 6).
The disc is very scratched. Buy a new disc.
Can’t enter track numbers
for memory playback?
No disc is loaded. Load a disc (page 20).
The track number entered doesn’t exist on
the disc.
Enter the correct track number (page 21).
Can’t play a CD?
The disc is upside down.
Load the disc with the label-side facing up
(page 20).
The disc is dirty. Remove the disc and clean it (page 6).
Condensation has formed inside the CR-L5.
Remove the disc and leave the CR-L5 turned
on for several hours until the condensation
has evaporated.
