Troubleshooting

Incorrect operation is often mistaken for trouble or malfunction.
If you think that there is something wrong with this component,
check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another
component. Inspect the other components and electrical
appliances being used. If the trouble cannot be rectified after
checking the items below, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized
service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.
Playback is not possible.
• Check that the disc with the label side face up.
No audio, or audio is distorted.
• Check that the disc is not paused. Press 26 to restart
playback.
• Check that the disc is clean and in good condition (pages
45–46).
Auto tuning does not pick up some stations.
• Auto tuning will only detect radio stations with a good
signal. For more sensitive tuning, connect an outdoor
antenna (see page 12).
Noisy radio reception.
• If the radio signal is weak, an outdoor antenna will usually
give better results than the supplied indoor types (see
page 12).
• Other electrical equipment, such as TVs, fluorescent
lamps and motors can cause interference. Try switching
off or moving the nearby equipment, or moving the
antenna(s).
• Check that the antennas are connected properly. For FM,
make sure that the antenna is fully extended and
positioned to give the best reception (see page 1 1). For
AM, make sure that the loop antenna is pointing in the
best direction (see page 1 1).
• The tuning interval may be incorrect for your country or
region. Try switching the tuning interval (see page 29).
Sound is mono only.
• Check that the tuner is not in FM mono mode (see page
22).
