MAINTAINING YOUR WAVE

MUSIC SYSTEM III

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do

System does not function • Make sure the power cord is fully plugged into an operating electrical outlet.

• Unplug the power cord from the AC wall outlet for 10 seconds and then reconnect it; this will reset

the system.

• Tap the touch pad on the top of the system to see if the system turns on (page 8).

No sound • Turn the volume up.

• Press Mute

• Eject the CD and reload it.

• Press AUX to listen to an external source connected to the AUX IN input.

• Make sure the external source is turned on and the volume on the external source is turned up.

• Disconnect headphones from the system (connecting headphones mutes the speakers).

Poor sound quality • If listening to an AM or FM source, try turning the Talk Radio mode on or off (page 10).

• If listening to an AUX source, make sure you are using a stereo cable and that it is fully inserted.

• If listening to a DIGITAL RADIO source, please refer to the proper antenna placement instructions on

page 18.

Remote control is incon-

sistent or does not work

• Operate the remote control closer to the unit.

• Check that the remote control battery is installed with positive (+) polarity facing up.

• Replace the remote control battery.

• Check for interference from fluorescent room lighting, sunlight, or dust or dirt on lens.

• Try the unit in a different location.

AM reception is weak • Adjust the internal antenna by rotating the unit slightly one way and then the other.

• Move the unit farther from a TV, refrigerator, 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.

FM reception is weak • Extend the power cord as much as possible. The power cord acts as an FM antenna. See “Con-

necting to power” on page 6.

• See “Installing an external antenna for FM radio” on page 18.

I cannot receive one or

more DIGITAL RADIO

stations in my area

• Extend the power cord as much as possible. The power cord acts as an antenna. See “Connecting

to power” on page 6.

• Connect the external antenna included with your system. See “Installing an external antenna for

DIGITAL RADIO” on page 18.

• Press and hold Mute to re-scan for available stations (page 12). Then press Preset 3.

• Tune to check for previously missing stations.

I cannot access

secondary services

• If secondary services are available for the currently selected primary DIGITAL RADIO station, the

secondary service information is displayed after the primary DIGITAL RADIO station information.

• See “Primary stations and secondary services” on page 11.

“UNAVAILABLE” is

displayed when listening

to DIGITAL RADIO

• The broadcaster may have taken the primary DIGITAL RADIO station you are tuned to off-air, or the

signal strength has dropped to zero.

• Wait until the station resumes broadcasting, or tune to a new station.

“OFF AIR” is displayed

when listening to DIGITAL

RADIO

• The broadcaster may have taken the secondary service you are tuned to off-air, or the signal

strength has dropped to zero. “OFF AIR” is displayed for 2 seconds, then the radio tunes to the pri-

mary DIGITAL RADIO station.

• If the radio does not tune to the primary DIGITAL RADIO station, then that primary DIGITAL RADIO

station has gone off-air, or the signal strength has dropped to zero.

Display alternates

between “LOW SIGNAL”

and the station name

• You may have tuned to a primary DIGITAL RADIO station or secondary service that has a low signal.

• To increase signal strength, make sure the power cord is fully extended. See “Connecting to power”

on page 6.

• If straightening the power cord does not improve reception, connect an external antenna. See

“Installing an external antenna for DIGITAL RADIO” on page 18.

CD does not play • Check that the CD source is selected or press CD. The CD icon should appear on the display.

• Check that the CD was loaded label-side up.

• Check that the disc surface is clean, If not, try cleaning it.

• Check that an audio CD was loaded, not a DVD.

• Try another disc.
