Care and Maintenance Troubleshooting Problem System does not function No sound Poor sound quality Remote control is ­inconsistent or does not work AM reception is weak FM reception is weak What to do • Connect the system to AC (mains) power. • Unplug the power cord from the AC wall outlet for 10 seconds and then reconnect it; this resets the system. • Tap the touch pad on the top of the system to see if the system powers on (see page 8). • Increase the volume. • Disconnect headphones from the system (connecting headphones mutes the speakers). • If the bass is too heavy or low, adjust the bass level of the system using the setup menu (see page 13). • If listening to an external AUX source, use a stereo cable and that it is fully inserted. • Operate the remote control closer to the system. • Check that the remote control battery is installed with positive (+) polarity facing up. • Replace the remote control battery. • Check for interference from fluorescent room lighting, sunlight, or dust or dirt on lens. • Try the system in a different location. • Turn the system slightly one way and then the other to change the direction of the internal AM antenna. • Move the unit farther from a TV, refrigerator, halogen lamps, dimmer switches, or other electronic ­equipment that generates electrical noise. • If neither suggestion works, you may be in an area of weak AM signal coverage. • Extend the power cord as much as possible. The power cord acts as an FM antenna. See page 9. • See "Using an external antenna" on page 12. 14 - English
