Although the greatest care has
been taken in the manufacture of
this Compact Disc player, the pos‑
sibility remains that a fault could
appear or that for some reason the
player fails to function to your com‑
plete satisfaction.
The cause, however, will certainly
not always be found in the player
itself. External factors, and the fact
that it takes time to become
acustomed to the whole concept of
the new product and the new discs,
can also play a role.
To save you unnecessary calls on
your dealer or our Service Organi‑
1.After switching on the player,the PROGRAM
Display LEDs do notlight.
@The ON OFF key is not pressed infar enough to latch in.
@The mains plug of the player is not properly plugged in.
@There is no supply at the mains socket. Plugin another electrical ap‑
pliance and check if that works.
2.After pressing OPEN/CLOSE, the disc drawer
does not slide out.
e The transport screws have not been removed.
e@The player is not switched on.
@The key has not been pressed in far enough to latch in.
@The drawer drive belt is broken. You should not attempt to repair this
yourself. If a disc is in position, remove it by opening the drawer by hand,
remembering to close the drawer afterwards.
3.After pressingOPEN/CLOSE, the disc drawer
does not slide in.
@The mains supply has been interrupted. Check if the PROGRAM
Display is lit.
@The drawer drive belt is broken. You should not attempt to repair this
yourself. If adisc is in position, remove it and close the drawer by hand
afterwards.
4.After pressing PLAY, the disc does not begin to
turn.
@The player is not switched on.
@The disc drawer is not fully closed because it is obstructed; some‑
thing could also be trapped between the drawer and the casing. Open
the drawer again by pressing the OPEN/CLOSE key, remove the
obstruction and then press the OPEN/CLOSE key once more to close
the drawer again.
e There is an unwanted object in the disc drawer, e.g. a piece of paper
or a remnant of packaging.
5.The disc begins to turn, butstops after a few
seconds.
@The disc is not inserted with the label upwards.
@The disc is not flat. Tr y another disc which appears flat, and see if that
clears the fault.
e The disc is dirty. See if cleaning the disc, or using another, clean disc,
clears the fault.
6.The disc turns, but there is no sound.
@ The position of the (pre)amplifier source selector switch does not cor‑
respond with the input to which the player is connected.
e@The (pre)amplifier is not switched on.
e@The (pre)amplifier or the (active) loudspeakers connected to it are not
working. Check with another sound source to see if this is the case.
sation, we have compileda list of
possible faults and their causes. To
even mention some of these cau‑
ses, such as those to do with mains
connection, may perhaps seem
excessive. Our experience shows,
however, that they are easily over‑
looked as sources of trouble.
If, by using this list, you do not suc‑
ceed in solving the problem, stop
your investigation. Disconnect the
mains plug and phone your dealer.
He will be able to advise you what
to do next.
Under no circumstances should you
open up the player; this will invali‑
date all rights under the guarantee.
7.The sound is poor or distorted.
@The player is not connected to the CD/TV, AUX, TUNER or TAPE IN
input of the (pre)amplifier but to the PHONO input.
e@The (pre)amplifier or the (active) loudspeakers connected to it are not
working properly. Check with another sound source to see if this is the
case.
e The disc is dirty or badly scratched. See if cleaning the disc or using
another, clean or scratch-free, disc improves the situation.
e@The laser pick-up lens may show signs of a film of dirt. See if cleaning
it with a cotton wool bud improves the situation.
e@There is an unwanted object in the disc drawer, e.g. a piece of paper
or a remnant of packaging.
8.The ’Add-in’ programme is not working properly.
e The disc is dirty or badly scratched. See if cleaning the disc helps or
try programming a scratch-free disc.
e All 15 memory entries have been used and you have not noticed the
flashing ERROR LED. Press SELECT and STORE again to see if this is
the case.
e@You have tried to programmea higher track number than exists on the
disc. Check the number of tracks on the disc title list.
9. The following four faults can be caused by the same circumstances:
Playback does notbegin within a few seconds of
pressing PLAY.
After playback has begun,all 15 PROGRAM Display
LEDs remainalight although there are fewer tracks
on the disc.
Playback does not begin with the first track on the
disc or the programme, butwith another track.
Playback stops before the end of the disc, the
TRACK Display LED flashes under the lastplayed
track number,the PROGRAM Display LEDsfor the
tracks that have been played also flash, and the re‑
maining PROGRAM Display LEDs all light.
@The disc is dirty or badly scratched. See if cleaning the disc or using
another, clean or scratch-free, disc clears the fault.
e The disc is not flat. Try another disc which appears flat and see if that
clears the fault.
@The laser pick-up lens may show signs of a film of dirt. See if cleaning
it with a cotton wool bud helps.
e@There is an unwanted object in the disc drawer, e.g. a piece of paper
or a remnant of packaging.
10.The sound disappears, the LEDs mayswitch in a
randomway, and all player functions will be blocked.
This condition is unlikely to occur during the whole lifetime of your player
and will only be caused under exceptional circumstances. Although this
condition interrupts play, it can cause no harm. You can clear the inter‑
ruption by simply switching the player off, and then back on again, after
which it will function normally once more.
