Case Troubleshooting

No.	Case	Inspection/Remedy
1	Trembling sound	Before replacing the speaker, inspect that the mounting screw is installed properly. After reinstalling the speaker, verify that no trembling sound is heard. If the trembling sound is heard again, replace the speaker with a new one.
2	Noise	Check that the wiring connector is connected properly. If not, reconnect the wiring connector. In case of radio static, check for noise from CD player. When a noise is heard on turning radio and CD on, replace the speaker with new one. NOTE: In case of radio static noise only, poor radio reception may be the cause. In this case, the speaker does not require repair or replacement.
