FAULTS AND THEIR LIKELY CAUSES
Insufficient familiarity with the combination of a new
product and new discs may lead to faults arising
during use. These are generally caused by simple
errors in operation or external factors.
It is perhaps useful to check the points listed below
and where possible remedy these before taking
your player for repair.
- The transit clamps have not been removed.
- Condensation has formed on the lens of laser
due to a dramatic change in temperature. This will
disappear automatically after a some time.
- There is a foreign object in the disc tray.
- The disc has not been inserted with the printed
side up or there is no disc in the tray.
- The disc is dirty, badly scratched or warped.
- The player has been connected to the PHONO
socket of the amplifier.
If the fault remains, try to clear it by switching the
player off and on.
If this also fails to help, do not continue experiment¬
ing, but remove the plug from the socket and
consult your dealer.
Certain faults may be caused by a disc. In order to
help determine the precise cause, take the disc with
which the fault occurred with you when you take the
player for repair.
Under no circumstances should you repair the
player yourself, as this will invalidate the guaran¬
tee!
