## The sound quality is not good. 

• Make sure the speaker cables are connected with the correct polarity (see page 19). 

• Make sure all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (see page 16). 

• The sound quality can be affected by strong magnetic fields, such as that from a TV. Try moving any such devices away from the stereo receiver. 

• If you have any devices that emit high-intensity radio waves near the stereo receiver, such as a cellular phone that’s being used to make a call, the stereo receiver may output noise.

• The stereo receiver is not a portable device. Use it in a location that’s not subject to shock or vibration. 

## Headphone output is intermittent or there's no sound.

## Audio performance 

• Audio performance will be at its best about 10 to 30 minutes after the stereo receiver has been turned on and had time to warm up.
