Your RCA RS2625 stereo system can play CDs and the radio in high-quality sound. Sometimes things may go wrong with the system: It may not turn on, a CD may skip, no sound may issue forth or the radio reception may be poor. Even so, troubleshooting these and other issues is not difficult. Start with a handy list designed to make your RCA stereo system diagnosis easier.
Instructions
1. Verify that the power plug is securely plugged into the wall outlet if the system will not turn on. If it is secure, unplug the unit, wait for a minute, and then replug it. If your system still will not turn on, try another wall outlet.
2. Clean the CD you are trying to play with a soft, clean cloth if it skips. Wipe the cloth inward to outward to pull the dust out and away from the center of the disc. Move the speakers at least 3 feet apart from each other. Place the main unit on another surface.
3. Increase the volume setting if you do not hear any sound. Verify that the mute feature is off. Check the speaker cords and verify each is securely connected to the main unit. Check the tuner and CD functions: If the "CD" button is pressed on the remote control, the tuner function will be disabled until the "Tuner" button is pressed, and vice-versa.
4. Press the "Tuner" button if the CD player will not work or change discs when you press the "Disc Skip" button. Press the "CD" or "Disc Skip" button again to try to activate the desired feature.
5. Move the antenna until the stereo system emits a clearer sound if you hear poor radio reception. Turn off nearby vacuum cleaners, fluorescent lights, microwaves and hair dryers. These appliances may interfere with radio reception.
6. Verify that the CD you want to hear is placed label-side up in the tray if the disc will not play. Verify that "Pause" is not pressed and the "CD" button is pressed. Try another disc to confirm that the problem lies with the disc or with something else.
7. Move closer to the system if the remote control will not work. Replace both batteries in the remote control after one month of use. Remove items that obstruct the direct path between the system's infrared signal and the remote control.
