The Remote Control fails to control the unit
• The Remote Control is normally shipped with the batteries packed
separately for safety reasons. If you are using the Remote Control for the
first time, you must fit the batteries first - see page 45.
• If the Remote Control has not been used for a long time or has gradually
lost range, the batteries should be replaced - see page 45.
• If you have just replaced the batteries but the unit still does not work, check
that the batteries are fitted the right way around - see page 45. If two or
more batteries were fitted the wrong way around, the Remote Control may
be permanently damaged. If this occurs, contact your dealer for advice.
• For correct operation, there must be a clear line of sight between the
infrared transmitter at the end of the Remote Control and the remote control
sensor in the main unit, located on the left hand side of the display. If the
line of sight is blocked (for example by a coffee table) the Remote Control
may operate erratically or not at all.
The Display turns on briefly when a control is operated, then turns off
• This happens when the display brightness is set to Brightness: 0. Open the
Menu and change Brightness to a different setting.
CD-R does not play correctly
• Verdi Encore is CD-R compatible but some brands of disks are more reliable
than others due to differences in design. dCS recommend Traxdata TXS-
1680 disks – we have used these without difficulty for some years.
• The CD-R must be formatted as a music CD, rather than a data CD.
• You can burn and update an incomplete music CD on a CD Re-Writer, but
the disk must be finalised before it can be played on an audio CD transport.
Finalising creates a Table Of Contents (TOC) at the start of the disk. If the
TOC is missing, the transport will keep trying to find it for about 2 minutes,
displaying Reading. During this time, you will not be able to stop or eject
the disk. Wait until the unit displays TOC Error, then open the tray and
remove the disk.
