Troubleshooting
If you have problems with your system, look through this chart and
see if you can solve the problem yourself before calling your dealer
or TEAC service center.
General
No power
Check the connection to the AC power supply. Check and
make sure the AC source is not a switched outlet and that, if it
is, the switch is turned on. Make sure there is power to the AC
outlet by plugging another item such as a lamp or fan into the
outlet.
No sound from speakers.
Select the source by pressing the FUNCTION button.
Check the connection to the speakers.
Adjust the volume.
Pull out the headphone’s plug from the PHONES jack.
If “Muting” is blinking, press the MUTING button.
The sound is noisy.
The unit is too close to a TV or similar appliances. Install the unit
apart from them, or turn them off.
Remote control does not work.
Press the STANDBY/ON switch to turn the unit on.
When the battery has run out, put in a new one.
Use remote control unit within the range (5 m) and point at the
front panel.
Clear obstacles between the remote control unit and the main
unit.
If a strong light is near the unit, turn it off.
CD Player
Will not play.
Load a disc with the playback side facing away.
If the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc.
A blank disc has been loaded. Load a prerecorded disc.
Depending on the disc, etc. it may not be possible to play back
CD-R/RW discs. Try again with another disc.
You cannot play back unfinalized CD-R/RW discs. Finalize such
a disc in a CD recorder and try again.
Sound skips.
Place the unit on a stable place to avoid vibration and shock.
If the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc.
Do not use scratched, damaged or warped discs.

Radio
Cannot listen to any station, or signal is too weak.
Tune in the station properly.
Rotate the FM/DAB antenna for the best reception position.
Though the FM broadcast is stereo, it sounds monaural.
Switch the FM mode to STEREO using the FM MODE button.
“NO stations available” appears on the display.
Check that antenna is stretched.
Ensure that DAB coverage exists in your area.
Cannot access secondary services.
Secondary service is part-time programme transmitted as a side
channel of the primary station. When you want to listen to a
secondary station, check its broadcasting schedule.
Display goes out or displays “Station off-air”.
This may occur if a broadcaster changes the label of a service or
removes a label whilst you are listening to it. The MC-DX40DAB
will try to retune to this station, or alternatively follow the
procedure for auto tune on page 17.
Cannot listen to the selected station.
Ensure you have pressed the SELECT button when you want to
listen to your selection. The station you are currently listening
to will be displayed on the first line of the display, as you
scroll through the station order list the second line will show
other station options. Press the SELECT button to activate your
selection.
A burbling sound is heard on some stations.
DAB like other digital media is good at producing quality audio
from a low level signal. However, if this signal level is too low, a
“burbling” sound can sometimes be heard. To reduce this, try
repositioning your antenna to gain maximum signal strength.
If normal operation cannot be recovered, unplug the power
cord from the outlet and plug it again.
Beware of condensation
When the unit (or a disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place,
or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of
condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal
mechanism, making correct operation erratic or impossible.
To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the unit for one or two
hours with the power turned on. The unit will stabilize at the
temperature of its surroundings.
Maintenance
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or
use diluted mild liquid soap. Never spray liquid directly on this
unit. Apply your cleaner to your cleaning cloth and wipe gently.
Be sure to remove any excess completely. Do not use thinner,
benzene or alcohol as they may damage the surface of the unit.
Allow the surface of the unit to dry completely before using.
