### Error Messages, Probable Causes, and Solutions

Several conditions will cause errors preventing proper CD operation. These include loading a CD upside down, moisture on the CD, and a dirty damaged CD. Moisture on the focusing mechanism internal to the CD player CD player may also cause an error. While using your CD player, if the radio detects an error, it will let you know by either ejecting the CD or by temporarily displaying "ERR". If an error message appears on your display, please check the probable causes of the error to correct the problem. Following is a list of possible problems, along with the probable causes and solutions.

If the following solutions do not correct the problem, you may have a CD player failure. See your Retailer or authorized service provider for service.

#### If the CD ejects upon insertion (right after loading):

First check to see if you are inserting the CD upside down. It should be inserted with the label facing upwards. Reinstall the CD label side up. If the CD still ejects when it is install label side up, you could have a warped or cracked CD. Check the CD for problems. Avoid using any cracked or deformed CDs.
