  One of my speakers is not working. How do I determine if the problem is in the speakers or the receiver?
 

The easiest way is by switching the speaker wires (so that the left is now the right and vice versa). If the problem stays in the same speaker, then the problem is the speaker. If the problem switches to the other speaker then the problem is either in the unit or the wires to the speaker. Speaker wires do get brittle with age, and even though it worked yesterday, it could be broken today. This is especially true when wires are run under carpets. Also be sure to double check the balance control to make sure it hasn't been moved all the way to one end.

  I get no sound from any speakers. Is this the speakers or the receiver?
 

First, check to see if the Tape Monitor switch has been activated on the receiver. If so, turn this off and sound should return. If not, you could try the above steps with another set of speakers if you have them available. It is unusual for both speakers to go bad when the unit is not in use, so this would generally indicate a problem with the unit.

  My CD player skips, what could be the problem?
 

If it skips only on certain CD's, the problem is most likely the CD's. Scratches, dirt or smudges can cause the CD to be unreadable. CD cleaning kits can be used to clean the CD's and this may resolve the problem. If this does not help, or if the unit skips with all CD's, then the laser may need an alignment, cleaning or replacement.
