      Ensure the unit is in CD function mode and that the CD is inserted with the label side up. If using a self-compiled CD, the media used may not be compatible with the player. Use better quality blank media and retest.

      The station might not be tuned properly for AM or FM. For FM, make sure the telescopic antenna is fully extended. For AM, reposition the unit until you get the best reception and fine-tune the AM or FM broadcast station.

      The disc may be dirty or defective, or the pick-up lens might be dirty, or the player is subject to excessive shock or vibration. Clean or replace the defective disc. Use a CD-lens cleaning disc to clean the lens. Relocate the player away from shock or vibration.
