TROUBLESHOOTING
What appears to be trouble is not always
serious. Make sure first ...
1 Power cannot be turned on.
* Is the power cord unplugged?
2 When the 2 PLAY button is pressed, tape
does not move.
* Is the 8 PAUSE button pressed?
3 Playback sound is at a very low level.
* Are the batteries run down?
* Is the head dirty?
4 The ¶ REC button does not function.
* Have the safety tabs of the cassette been broken
off?
* Is a cassette loaded?
5 The disc is loaded but does not play.
* Is the disc upside down?
* Is the disc dirty?
* Is the disc damaged or warped?
* Is the lens dirty?
* Is there lens condensation? If so, set the POWER
ON/OFF button to ON and wait one or two hours
before use.
6 No sound from the speakers.
* Are headphones connected?
7 Since tape speed is irregular, wow and flutter
occur.
* Is the pinch roller or capstan dirty?
* Are the batteries run down?
8 Radio reception is poor and there is much
static.
* Is the antenna properly adjusted?
9 Remote control is impossible.
* Are the batteries in the remote control unit
exhausted?
* Is the remote sensor section exposed to bright light
(direct sunlight, etc.)?
Note:
When the unit is moved from a cold place of around 0˚C
(32˚F) to a warm place, it may not operate normally,
because moisture has formed inside the deck. Normal
operation will be restored after waiting one or two hours.
