When they become too dirty: • Sound quality deteriorates. • The sound output level drops.
TROUBLESHOOTING What appears to be trouble is not always serious. Referring to the following, check whether your problem can be solved with a simple operation. Power cannot be turned on. = Is the AC power cord unplugged? Remote control does not function. = Are the batteries in the remote control unit exhausted? = Is the REMOTE SENSOR section exposed to bright light (direct sunlight, etc.)? No sound is heard from the speakers. = Are headphones connected? Playback sound is at a very low level.
