      If “TAKE OUT/DISC” appears on the display of your Panasonic Stereo System, it could be due to a power failure or disconnection during disc changing or when the disc tray is open. To resolve this: 1. Press [f/7] to switch on the power. The tray will open. 2. Take out the CD from the tray, if there is one, then press [c] of [CD 1] to close the tray.
