8. BEFORE CALLING THE REPAIRMAN
If you suspect that your player is faulty, first consult this checklist.
You may find you have overlooked something quite simple.
Under no circumstances should you open up the player; this will
invalidate all rights under the guarantee.
1. After pressing the POWER switch, the display does not
light.
-The button is not pressed in far enough.
- One of the plugs of the mains lead is not connected or is not
making contact.
-There is no supply at the mains socket. Plug in another
electrical appliance and check if that works.
2. After pressing OPEN/CLOSE, the disc-tray does not slide
out.
-The transit screws have not been removed.
-The player is not switched on. Check if the display is lit.
-The microprocessor has not received the command properly.
Check if the disc-tray opens if you switch the player off and on
again, and then press CPEN/CLCSE once more.
-The disc-tray drive is not functioning. You cannot rectify tills
yourself.
3. After pressing OPEN/CLOSE, PLAY/REPLAY or SCAN, the
disc-tray does not slide in.
-The mains supply has been interrupted. Check if the display is
lit.
-The microprocessor has not received the command correctly.
Check if the disc-tray closes if you switch the player off and on
again.
-The disc-tray drive is not functioning. You cannot rectify this
yourself, if a disc is in position, remove it, then push the disc-tray
in carefully to close it.
4. After closing the disc-tray, ’DISC’ and ’ERROR’ light briefly.
-The disc is not inserted with the label upwards or there is no
disc in the disc-tray.
- The disc is dirty. See if cleaning the disc, or using another, clean
disc, clears the fault.
-The disc is defective. Try another disc.
-There is an unwanted object in the disc-tray, e.g. a piece of
paper or a remnant of packaging.
5. The disc is being played (indicated by the track number or
the elapsed time indication moving on regularly) but there is
no sound.
-The amplifier is not switched on.
-The position of the amplifier source selector switch does not
correspond with the input to which the player is connected.
-The amplifier or the loudspeakers connected to it are not
working. Check with another sound source to see if this is the
case.
-The microprocessor has not received the command correctly.
Check if switching the player off and on again, and then restarting
clears the fault.
- The connection between the player and the amplifier is broken.
-The input to which the player is connected is defective. Check
this by connecting the player to another input socket.
6. The sound is poor or distorted, or you can hear only one
channel.
-The player is not connected to the CD, AUX, TUNER orTAPE IN
input of the amplifier but to the PHONO input.
-One of the plugs of the connection cable is either not
connected or not properly connected.
-The disc is dirty or badly scratched. See if cleaning the disc or
using another, clean or scratch-free disc improves the situation.
-There is an unwanted object in the disc-tray, e.g. a piece of
paper or a remnant of packaging.
-The amplifier or the loudspeakers connected to it are not
working properly. Check with another sound source to see if this
is the case.
7. Programming is not working.
-The disc is dirty or badly scratched. See if cleaning the disc
helps or try programming another disc.
-The microprocessor has not processed the commands
properly. Erase the program by pressing STOP/CM and store it
again; restart play and check if the fault has cleared.
-All 20 memory blocks are already occupied and you have
missed ’ERROR’ which indicates this.
- FTS memory is full.
8. Playback does not begin with the first track on the disc or
of the program, but with another.
-The microprocessor has not processed the command cor­
rectly. Check if switching the player off and on again, and then
restarting clears the fault.
-The disc is dirty or badly scratched. See if cleaning the disc or
using another, clean or scratch-free disc clears the fault.
-The disc is defective. Try another disc.
-There is an unwanted object in the disc-tray, e.g. a piece of
paper or a remnant of packaging.
9. Playback stops before the end of the disc or the program.
-The PLAY MODE switch is not in the ’NORM PLAY’ position.
