TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Should this unit exhibit a problem, check the following before seeking service.

Important! Speaker Protection Circuit

To prevent damage to the two ultra thin speakers mounted in the lid, the VOLUME

control will automatically return to a low 'default' setting each time the power is switched

'Off'. This is normal and not an indication of any trouble with your unit. Adjust the

volume to a comfortable listening level each time you switch the power 'On'.
