	Connections are improper.	Read the attached “Installation/Wire Connection Guide” once again and wire properly.
Sound quality is poor.	Playback head is dirty.	Use a cleaning tape, etc. to clean the head.
No sound while unit can be operated.	Power ANT lead is shorted to the ground.	Turn the unit off, first.Remove all connecting wires from the power ANT lead, and turn the unit on, then re-connect a wire one by one to the power ANT lead.When sound is muted again, check the unit with a wire connected last.
