Troubleshooting
Problems may be caused by any component connected to this unit. Please check the table
below, cross-referencing the instruction manuals for the other components.
The power to the system is not turned on.
• Make sure that the power cable is plugged into the AC outlet.
• Unplug the power cable from the AC outlet, wait for five seconds or more, then plug the cable in again.
The power is turned off during the operation.
• If the SLEEP indicator is lit on the display, the Sleep timer is functioning. Cancel the Sleep timer.
(See page 61.)
• The FR-X7A enters Standby mode after the timer playback or recording is complete. (See page 64.)
The sound is not heard.
• Make sure the power cable is plugged into an AC outlet.
• Make sure that the speakers are connected correctly and the speaker cables’ core wires touch only the speaker
connectors. (See page 14.)
• Check to make sure that the volume level is not set to minimum. (See page 18.)
• Check to make sure the muting function is not engaged.
If the MUTING indicator is flashing, the sound is muted. Cancel the muting function. (See page 40.)
• When the headphones are connected, the speakers do not output any sound. Disconnect the headphones.
(See page 40.)
Sound is not good.
• Make sure that the speaker cords are connected correctly. Check their polarity (+/–). (See page 14.)
• Connect the RCA/phono audio cables firmly.
• Sound quality could be affected by a strong magnetic field, such as a TV set. Locate such a device far from the
FR-X7A.
Sound skips.
• The unit absorbed some vibration, or the disc is scratched or dirty.
Track numbers cannot be stored when setting MEMORY playback.
• Make sure that the disc has been loaded, and the track(s) you try to program are included on the disc.
The disc will not play.
• Make sure that the disc has been loaded on the disc tray correctly. The disc should be inserted with the play-
back side facing down.
• Check to see if the disc’s surface is dirty.
• A blank MD has been loaded. Replace it with a recorded MD.
• If condensation is suspected, wait for about one hour after you turn on the power to the unit before playing the
disc.
Noise is heard during broadcast, or too much white noise is heard during an FM stereo broadcast.
You cannot tune in the broadcast station using the Auto Preset function (for only FM stations).
Or, the FM ST indicator does not light up during FM broadcast.
• Change the location of the antenna. (See page 27.)
• Locate the unit further from the TV or a computer.
• Cars or airplanes can create noisy interference.
• A broadcast radio signal may be weak if a concrete wall obstructs the signal path.
• Try setting FM mode to Monaural. (See page 28.)
• Noise may be heard when you operate the remote controller during AM reception.
• If nothing can improve the reception, install an outdoor antenna.
