Many potential "problems" can be resolved by the owner without calling a service
technician.
If something is wrong with this product, check the following before calling your author-
ised KENWOOD dealer or service centre.
General
CD player
Tuner
Remote control
Condensation
Symptom Possible cause
The clock is not on time. Did a power failure occur? Reset the
clock. (Refer to page 15.)
When a button is pressed, the unit
does not respond. Set this unit to the power stand-by mode
and then turn it back on.
If the unit still malfunctions, reset it. (Refer
to step 3 under "If trouble occurs" on page
26.)
No sound is heard. Is the volume level set to "0"?
Are the headphones connected?
Are the speaker wires disconnected?
Symptom Possible cause
Playback does not start. Is the disc loaded upside-down?
Playback stops in the middle or is
not performed properly. Does the disc satisfy the standards?
Is the disc distorted or scratched?
Playback sounds are skipped, or
stopped in the middle of a track. Is the unit located near excessive vibra-
tions?
Is the disc very dirty?
Has condensation formed inside the unit?
Symptom Possible cause
Radio makes unusual noise con-
secutively. Is the unit placed near the TV or compu-
ter?
Is the FM/AM loop aerial placed properly?
Move the AC power lead away from the
aerial if located near.
Symptom Possible cause
The remote control does not oper-
ate. Is the AC power lead of the unit plugged
in?
Is the battery polarity respected?
Are the batteries dead?
Is the distance or angle incorrect?
Does the remote control sensor receive
strong light?
Sudden temperature changes, storage or op-
eration in an extremely humid environment
may cause condensation inside the cabinet
(CD pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter on the
remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunc-
tion. If this happens, leave the power on with
no disc in the unit until normal playback is pos-
sible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensa-
tion on the transmitter with a soft cloth before
operating the unit.
