TROUBLESHOOTING:
•
If a disk will not play,
check to see that it was loaded correctly (label side up) and that the CD unit
is on a flat, level, stable surface. Check disc for dirt, scratches, spills, etc.
•
If the disc spins but there is no sound, check the cable connections. If they are okay, check your
amplifier or receiver.
•
If the CD skips, check it for dirt, oil or scratches. Do not assume that the CD player or laser is
defective. Many CDs are recorded “out of spec” and skip on most or all CD players. Before
sending the unit to an authorized Gemini service technician, insert a disc that plays properly in
another unit.
NOTE: DEPENDING ON THE CONDITIONS OF THE RECORDING EQUIPMENT OR THE CD-R/RW
DISC ITSELF, SOME CD-R/RW DISCS CANNOT BE PLAYED.
In the U.S.A., if you have any problems with this unit, call 1-732-738-9003 for
