• Make sure the power cable is plugged into an AC out-

let.

• Make sure that the speakers are connected correctly 

and the speaker cables’ core wires touch only the 
speaker connectors. (See page 18.)

• Check to make sure that the volume level is not set to 

minimum. (See page 26.)

rectly. Check their polarity (+/–). (See page 18.)

field, such as a TV set. Locate such a device far from 
the DVD receiver.

• If you have any devices that emit high intensity radio 

waves near the DVD receiver, such as a cellular phone 
in operation (calling), noise may be generated.

• The DVD receiver uses a rotating unit whose precision 

instrument generates faint hissing sound while read-
ing a disc during playing back or searching a track; 
you may hear it in a silent environment.

 

• The DVD receiver is designed for use as stationary 

type; place it in a location with limited influence of 
vibration.

terminal. For information on how to clean up, see the 
instruction manual attached to the headphones. Other-
wise, verify the cord of the headphones which may be 
broken.

 

• The sound quality becomes stable when 10 to 30 min-

utes have passed after the power was turned on. Using 
cable ties to bundle audio cables with speaker cables 
may degrade the audio performance, so don’t do it.

track(s) you try to program are included on the disc.

 

• It may take time for the DVD receiver to load and read 

a CD that contains many tracks.
