8. If something doesn’t work.......

Some putative defects are often caused by mistakes in operation. Sometimes other units connected to the
unit can cause problems. Therefore please read the following tips before You consult Your dealer or us.

Disc is inserted, but the CD is not recognized. Display shows "no disc" or "no audiodisc"

  The CD may be inserted upside down or the surface has to be cleaned.

  The inserted disc is scratched and not readable

  You have inserted a DVD or a data disc.

No music although the display shows “play”

  Check the cables to the amplifier.

No music while digital input is selected, display shows "NO SIGNAL"

  Check digital cables and plugs

  The digital signal is not a PCM stereo signal. The CD3.2 / 5.2 cannot handle sourround signals or signals

with compressed data. Set the signal source to "linear PCM stereo".

Infrared remote control doesn’t work

  Check the batteries of Your remote control transmitter

  Point with the remote control transmitter directly to the unit.
