Does anybody know how to put the Shaker 500 head unit into the self check mode? I am suddenly having some problems, doesn't play discs I know are good, suddenly resets itself to cut 1, ect. I once saw a post that described how to put it into a self check test mode. Thanks in advance.

Great tip bigcat! Thanks. I just tried it and it works. Also, I passed.

Now I know who to ask. I have another question, and I'll post it. I don't want to screw up this thread.

Shaker 500

I ran the test and it passed. Guess I'll take it to the dealer to check out.
