Trouble
Possible Cause
Remedy
Reception is noisy, inter-
mittent, and the “ST” (FM
stereo) indicator flickers?
You’re too far away from the transmitter.
Or, your FM antenna is in the wrong posi-
tion or pointing in the wrong direction. Or,
the station’s signal strength is poor.
Switch the FM Mode to Mono (page 28).
Adjust the position, height, and direction of
your FM antenna.
Install an outdoor FM antenna, preferably
one with many elements. Installing an out-
door antenna is a specialist’s job, so contact
your nearest dealer for advice (page 13).
The radio presets no longer
work?
The power cord has not been connected to a
wall outlet, or the power has been turned off
for an extended period.
Preset your favourite radio stations again
(pages 26 and 29). The power cord must be
plugged into a wall outlet a few times each
month in order to preserve the presets
(page 4).
The RDS (Radio Data Sys-
tem) doesn’t seem to work?
The current FM station does not support
RDS.
Tune into a station that supports RDS
(page 30).
The signal strength is poor, or there’s too
much interference.
Install an outdoor FM antenna (page 13),
change the position or direction of your out-
door FM antenna, and keep it away from flu-
orescent lights.
CD playback skips?
The CR-505DAB is subject to vibration.
Install the CR-505DAB somewhere free of
vibration.
The disc is dirty.
Remove the disc and clean it (page 36).
The disc is very scratched.
Buy a new disc.
Noise is generated.
DTS CD is being replayed.
Do not replay DTS CD, which is not sup-
ported by the CR-505DAB.
Can’t play a CD?
The disc is upside down.
Load the disc with the label-side facing up
(page 20).
The disc is dirty.
Remove the disc and clean it (page 36).
Condensation has formed inside the CR-
505DAB.
Remove the disc and leave the CR-505DAB
turned on for several hours until the conden-
sation has evaporated.
The CD-R/RW disc is nonstandard.
See “Disc Notes” (page 35).
It takes a long time to read
CD/MP3.
It may take a longer time to read CD/MP3
with many track numbers.
This is not a malfunction.
It takes a long time to locate
certain tracks.
The disc is dirty.
Remove the disc and clean it (page 36).

Does not operate during the
ACCUCLOCK function
with a message “Clock Set-
ting” displayed.
Bad receiving conditions may interfere with
the setting of the clock using ACCU-
CLOCK function.
Press the [DISPLAY] button to disengage
ACCUCLOCK, and then set the clock manu-
ally.
The clock is wrong?
CT (Clock Time) information has been
taken from a radio station in another time
zone.
Set ACCUCLOCK to use a specific station
(page 17).
The CR-505DAB turns
itself on unexpectedly?
The ACCUCLOCK function is calibrating
the clock.
This is not a malfunction. The CR-505DAB
will turn itself off automatically when the
ACCUCLOCK function has calibrated the
clock.
