We hope you don't; but if you do, here are some suggestions:

1.  Check all your cable connections.  Make sure all the leads and plugs
    are secure at both ends.

2.  Try a different AC outlet if you don't get any indication of power
    (and be sure you've got the line cord plugged in).

3.  Try interchanging cables and connections on the rear panel -
    sometimes this will give you a hint of where the problem lies -
    and may solve the problem for you.

4.  If the frequency display and SIGNAL indicator work, but you have no
    sound, make sure you didn't leave the [TAPE MONITOR] button in.

    If that is not the case, maybe the automatic overload protection
    circuit has activated.  Turn POWER off and check your speaker
    connections.

    A.  Make sure there is no short across the speaker push terminals
        (stray strand of wire touching between terminals or to the metal
        chassis).

    B.  If you are using more than one pair of speakers, they must be
        8 or 16 ohm type (two pair of 4 ohm speakers can overload the
        amplifier circuit and cause this circuit to activate).

    C.  Let the receiver cool down for a few minutes and then turn
        POWER back on.

If you check all the above and you still have a problem, help is as close
as your local Radio Shack store.  Bring your unit in and be ready to
describe the symptoms.  We will get you back into good stereo sound ASAP!
