- If a disc will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded cor-
rectly (label side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt,
scratches, etc.
- If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connec-
tions, if they are ok, check your amplifier or receiver.
- If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not as-
sume that the CD player is defective. Many CD's are recorded
out of spec and will skip on most or all CD players. Before send-
ing the unit for repair, try playing a CD that you are sure plays
properly.
