TROUBLESHOOTING:
· If the disk will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded correctly
(label side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt, scratches,
etc.
· If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connections.
If they are okay, check your amplifier or receiver.
· If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not
assume that the CD player is defective. Many CDs are recorded out
of spec & will skip on most or all CD players. Before sending the
unit in for repair, try playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
