Troubleshooting your Soundesign compact stereo system when it won't power up

• If you're using the remote control to attempt to power up the compact stereo system, try using the power button on the system to power it up.
• If the compact stereo system won't power up when you press the power button on the player, check the power cord. Plug the compact stereo power cord securely into the electrical wall outlet if the outlet cord plug is loose.
• If the compact stereo power cord is properly plugged into the electrical wall outlet, check the electrical outlet for power by plugging a different item into the wall outlet. If the wall outlet is dead, reset the house circuit breaker for the wall outlet. Have an electrician repair the wall outlet if it remains dead after resetting the house circuit breaker.
• If you have the compact stereo plugged into a surge protector, check for a tripped circuit breaker on the surge protector. Reset the surge protector circuit breaker if it's tripped.
• If the compact stereo is getting power through the power cord but won't power up, you may need to replace the power supply board in the compact stereo system.

Handling and care tips for compact discs used in your Soundesign compact stereo system

• Handle the compact disc by grasping it on the outer edge and inner hole when removing the disc from its case or the CD player disc tray. Don't touch the media side of the compact disc with your fingers because oil and dirt from your fingers can interfere with compact disc playback.
• Don't expose compact discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat sources such as heater air ducts or a car parked in direct sunlight.
• Insert and remove compact discs in the CD player disc tray carefully to avoid scratching the media side of the compact disc. Make sure the compact disc is properly inserted in the disc tray before pressing the button to insert the disc tray into the player to avoid marring the compact disc.
• After removing the compact disc from the CD player, store the disc in its storage case.
• Don't use tape or labels on the top of compact discs. Use a non-solvent-based felt-tip marker to label the top side of the disc.
