NO - Speakers all work, but sound quality is poor:
- If the sound is poor only with AM or FM, go to poor AM or FM radio reception or interference.
- If the sound is poor only with disc.
- Try several known-good disc in the audio unit.
- If the sound quality is normal, the original disc is faulty.
- If the sound quality is still poor, replace the audio unit.

- If the sound is poor in all modes, go to sound quality diagnosis. Sound Quality Diagnosis
