    • M
      Michael ArnoldSep 12, 2025
      This can occur due to several reasons: * The speaker cords may not be connected properly. Turn the unit off, check and correct the connections, and then turn it back on. * An AC power supply cord or fluorescent light might be near the cables. Keep other appliances and cords away from the unit's cables. * An incorrect operation may have been performed. Read the instructions and try again. * If you plugged in the AC power supply cord for the first time or there was a recent power failure, set the time. * There could be a power supply problem. In this case, consult with the dealer.
