Try the system in a different location. • Adjust the internal AM antenna by turning the Wave® radio/CD slightly to one side or the other. • Move the radio farther from a TV, refrigerator, fluorescent lights, 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. • If you are using the supplied antenna, check the antenna connection. • Straighten and extend the arms of the antenna as far away from the radio as possible. • Try moving the FM antenna near a window. • If you are using the supplied coaxial cable, be sure it is connected securely. • Contact your cable radio company for further assistance. • Check to see if the play/pause in the display is lit. • If the play/pause is flashing, the disc is paused. Press CD Play to play. • Check to see if there is a disc in the player, label-side up. • There may be dust or dirt on the CD. Clean the CD. See "Handling CDs" on page 22. • The disc may be defective. Try another disc. • Verify that disc is not a DVD. • Check "Customizing the display" on page 15 or "Quick Reference..." on page 25 to change the display settings (12 or 24 hour clock, display on or off, elapsed or remaining CD time). • Unplug and reconnect the system to return to original settings.
