check the connections first. If everything is in
order, check the fuse.
• If no sound comes from the speakers of the
two-speaker system, set the fader control to
the center position.

antenna, it will extend automatically while
the unit is operating.

Moisture condensation
On a rainy day or in a very damp area,
moisture may condense on the lenses inside
the CD/MD player. Should this occur, the unit
will not operate properly. In this case, remove
the disc and wait for about an hour until the
moisture has evaporated.

If you have drink holders near your audio
equipment, be careful not to splash juice or
other soft drinks onto the unit and CD/MD.
Sugary residues on the unit or CD/MD may
contaminate the lenses inside the unit, reduce
the sound quality, or prevent sound
reproduction altogether.
