Troubleshooting guide
Before requesting service, make the below checks. If you can’t fix the system as described below, or if something not listed here occurs, refer to the enclosed directory to locate an Authorized Service Center convenient to you or contact your dealer.
Common problems
No sound.
Sounds unfixed, reversed or come from one speaker only. Humming heard during
play.
“ERROR” is displayed. “- -:- -” appears on the display. “F76” is displayed.
Turn the volume up. The speaker cords may not be connected properly. Turn the
unit off, check and correct the connections and turn the unit on (refer to
page 4).
Check the speaker connections (refer to page 4).
An AC mains lead or fluorescent light is near the cables. Keep other
appliances and leads away from this unit’s cables. If possible in your area,
turn the AC mains lead’s plug or connector over to reverse the lead’s
polarity.
Incorrect operation performed. Read the instructions and try again.
You plugged the AC mains lead in for the first time or there was a power
failure recently. Set the time (refer to page 11).
Check and correct the speaker cord connections (refer to page 4). If this does
not fix the problem, there is a power supply problem. Consult the dealer.
Listening to the radio
Noise is heard. The stereo indicator flickers or doesn’t light. Sound is
distorted.
A beat sound is heard.
A low hum is heard during AM broadcast.
An AM broadcast station cannot be picked up clearly.
Use an outdoor antenna (refer to page 5).
Turn the TV off or separate it from the unit. Separate the antenna from other
cables and cords. Frequency step is set to 10 kHz. Change the frequency step
to 9 kHz (refer to page 10).
When there is a television set nearby
The picture on the TV disappears or stripes appear on the screen.
The location and direction of the antenna are incorrect. If you are using an indoor antenna, change to an outdoor antenna (refer to page 5). The TV antenna wire is too close to the unit. Separate the antenna wire of the TV set from the unit.
Using the cassette deck
Recording is not possible.
If the erasure prevention tabs have been removed, cover the holes with adhesive tape (refer to page 9).
Playing discs
The display is wrong or play won’t start.
The disc may be upside down (refer to page 7). Wipe the disc. Replace the disc if it is scratched, warped, or non-standard. Condensation may have formed inside the unit due to a sudden change in temperature. Wait about an hour for it to clear and try again.
The remote control
Remote control doesn’t work.
Check that the batteries are inserted correctly (refer to page 5). Replace the batteries if they are worn.
