The greatest care has been taken in the
manufacture of your Mclntosh Compact Disc player.
In case of operational difficulties and to save you
unnecessary service calls, here is a list of their
possible causes and suggested solutions. Should you
need further guidance, contact your dealer. He will
be able to advise you. Under no circumstances
should you open up the player. To do so can void
the service contract.
1. After touching POWER, the track indicator does not
light.

pressed in far enough. They require only .007"
movement to engage.
• The player is not properly plugged into the 120V
AC supply.

electrical appliance and see if it functions in the
same outlet.
2. After touching LOAD, the disc drawer does not slide
out.
• The player is not switched on and the message
center data will not light.
• The microprocessor has not received the
command correctly. Touch STOP and then touch
LOAD again to see if the drawer opens.

correct this yourself. If a disc is in position,
remove it by pulling the drawer open carefully,
then push the drawer in to close it again.
