TROUBLESHOOTING
Remember - the most vulnerable part of a CD playing system is the disc itself. The most likely
cause of a disc not playing is that the disc itself is faulty, scratched or simply dirty. Never open
the case of the A3.2 CD yourself, as this will invalidate the guarantee. If none of the above
actions effect a cure, please contact your dealer or Musical Fidelity service agent.
Basic problem-solving with a CD player is similar to troubleshooting other electrical or elec-
tronic equipment. Always check the most obvious possible causes first, such as the following
