TROUBLESHOOTING
There is no power
Make sure the DC power lead single pin plug is fully inserted into the DC socket on the rear of the unit, and the 3-
pin plug into the AC power socket.
Check the wall socket is working by plugging in another device, and ensure the wall socket switch (if any) has
been switched on.
Make sure the unit is switched on with the ON-OFF Switch.
There is no sound
Increase the volume level by turning the Volume Control.
Check you did not leave any Headphones plugged in – this will cut all sound from the speakers.
Check the Play/Pause button has not been pressed in error – press it to resume play.
Make sure no external device or cable is connected to the LINE-IN jack. Remove it before using another function.
The sound is too loud
The unit is too close to a TV set or other device. Place the system away from the other devices, or turn it off.
The Turntable will not work
Make sure the unit is set to Phono mode by sliding the Function switch to ‘AUX/
PH
’.
Move the Tone arm toward the turntable platter - it should start rotating.
The Turntable Drive Belt may have become disconnected in transit. Spin the round platter manually, if it revolves
freely the belt may have come off and needs to be refitted. If there is some resistance, the belt should still be in
place and there could be another reason why it is not spinning. Unfortunately, refitting a belt can only be done
by a Technician due to difficult access to the mechanism, which is underneath the Turntable and integral CD
Player.
The Tone Arm will not move
The black tie-wrap has not been removed from the Tone Arm.
The Tone Arm hold down clip has not been released to the right.
Make sure you lift the Tone Arm with the Cue Lever and then move it manually over the edge of the record – then
lower it with the Cue Lever.
Caution:
Do not force it down onto the record without using the Cue Lever.
The Tone Arm slides or skips across the Record
Make sure the protective needle cover is removed.
Make sure the Stylus has not been damaged or is worn out – replace if necessary.
Use no scratched, damaged or twisted records. Clean the records before use.
Make sure the unit is placed on a level and stable surface to avoid vibrations or shock.
Turntable – the sound is low when playing a record
Try removing and refitting the stylus and/or Tone Arm Cartridge.
Turn up the volume a bit more.
I have recorded a Record but it does not display any Folder/Artist/Title or Song Information
Vinyl records have no digital information, so no MP3 song information will be stored on the USB device or card.
However, if required, MP3 tracks can be transferred to, viewed and named on a computer.
I have recorded a CD to a USB device, but it does not display any Folder/Artist/Title or Song Information
If this information was not already on the original Disc, this will not show on the recorded disc either.
The CD does not play
Check to make sure the CD is correctly placed on the CD mechanism (label side facing up).
Make sure the Function switch is set to CD and a Disc is in the tray.
Make sure the CD is not a blank one and there is music recorded on it.
Check that the surface of the CD is clean. See separate Instructions on CD Care.
You can’t play unfinished CD-Rs / CD-RW / CD-MP3-CDs. Finish those CDs in a CD recorder and then try again.
