Troubleshooting
Disc not playing or recognized
Ensure the disc is correctly inserted and is a supported format (CD-DA, CD-ROM, CD-RW, MP3). Clean the disc surface. Try a different disc to rule out disc-specific issues.
No audio output
Check that the correct output (XLR, RCA, Digital) is selected and connected to your audio system. Verify that volume levels are not muted or set too low on both the CD-6010 and your connected equipment. Ensure the correct output mode (e.g., Line Out) is activated.
Distorted audio playback
Confirm that the output level is not clipping your connected equipment. Ensure the disc is clean and free from scratches. Check that the THD specification is not being exceeded by your signal chain.
Flash start not functioning as expected
Verify that the flash start points have been correctly set and stored. Ensure you are initiating playback via the designated flash start buttons or remote command.
