      If the main unit of your Samsung Stereo System isn't working (e.g., the power goes out or you hear a strange noise), turn off the power and hold the STOP button on the main unit for longer than 5 seconds. Be aware that using the RESET function will erase all stored settings, so only use this if necessary.

      If you're experiencing these issues with your Samsung Stereo System, it could be due to condensation inside the player if it was suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm one. Remove the disc and let the player stand for 1 to 2 hours with the power on, and try again after the condensation disappears.
