hints and tips

If a problem does occur, it may often be due to something very minor. The following table 

contains various tips.

Menu

Description

No power.

•  Ensure the mains adapter is connected.

•  Make sure that the unit is turned on.

•  Make sure that you have selected ON mode.

The remote control 

does not function.

•  Use the remote control near the unit.

•  Point the remote control at the remote sensor on the unit.

•  Replace the battery in the remote control with a new one.

•  Make sure the plastic sheet has been removed from the 

remote control.

•  Remove any obstacles between the remote control and the 

unit.

The unit does not 

respond when 

pressing any buttons.

•  The unit may freeze up during use. Switch the unit off and 

then on again to reset the unit.

CD
The disc does not 

play.

•  There is no disc inside the unit (“No Disc” appears on the 

display).

•  Insert the disc correctly with the label side facing up.

•  Clean the disc.

•  PAUSE mode may be activated, deactivate it.

•  A non-valid disc has been inserted, or the disc region number 

does not match the region number of the unit.

•  Condensation may have formed inside the unit due to a 

sudden change in temperature. Wait about an hour for it to 

clear and try again.

Disc skips.

•  Make sure the unit is on a secure spot. Vibrations or jarring 

can cause the disc to skip.

Radio
Poor DAB/FM 

reception.

•  Make sure the DAB/FM aerial wire is fully extended.

•  Electrical interference in your home can cause poor 

reception. Move the unit away from them (especially those 

with motors and transformers).

Desired station not 

found.

•  Weak signal. Use the manual tune function.
