Trouble shooting
Many problems have a simple cause and a correspondingly simple solution. The following section describes a few
difficulties you may encounter, and the measures you need to take to cure them. If you find it impossible to solve a
problem with the help of these notes please disconnect the unit from the mains and ask your authorised

specialist
dealer for advice.
General:
Machine does not switch on
(the screen remains dark). Cause 1:
Mains lead not plugged in correctly.
Remedy:
Check connection, push connector in firmly.
Cause 2:
Mains fuse burned out.
Remedy:
Have the mains fuse replaced by an authorised specialist workshop. The rating
of the replacement fuse must agree with the specification printed on the unit.
Machine responds correctly
to manual operation of the
buttons, but can not be
controlled by IR remote
control. Cause 1:
Incorrectly inserted batteries or flat batteries in the remote control handset.
Remedy:
Re-install batteries correctly or fit new ones.
Cause 2:
The remote control transmitter has no direct line-of-sight with the unit.
Remedy:
Make sure that the remote control transmitter has direct line-of-sight contact
with the receiver - note that glass doors can interrupt the connection.
Maximum range between transmitter and receiver: approx. 8 metres.
Be sure to position the receiver where it is not subjected to direct sunlight or
very bright artificial light. Fluorescent tubes and energy-saving lamps are
powerful sources of interference.
Disc drawer does not open.
Cause:
Mechanical blockage, jammed disc, faulty disc mechanism.
Remedy:
Open the disc drawer manually.
First switch the machine off (disconnect the mains plug). You will find an
opening in the bottom through which you can disengage the disc drawer by
pushing the white disengagement slider fully to the left using a suitable screw-
driver. This will cause the drawer to open by a few millimetres, and you can
then extend it fully by hand.
