troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the
problem.
CD player section

• Place the CD properly.
• Clean the CD.
• Remove the CD, then leave the deck turned on for
about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

The deck does not operate or operates poorly.
• The MD may be damaged ( “Read Error”
appears) . Take the MD out and insert it again. If
“Read Error” remains, replace the MD.
The deck does not play back.
