I have a Clarion XMD3 am/fm marine cd player that came with my 2000 Searay boat. I was somehow able to turn the inside cabin speakers off last season and only have the outside speakers on. I must have accidently shut the outside speakers off this year and now have none of them on or working. I have tryed a few times to turn them back on by adjusting the balance and adjusting the fader with no sucess. Am I doing something wrong or is there something else I can try. Please Help I love the system and do not want to replace it. Thanks Tom Hart

SOURCE: no sound.

Disconnect speakers one by one and reset the unit each time. If the speaker is blown, or the wires are frayed, it will shut down the internal amp. Also check the fuse in the back of the radio first, it should be near the wire harness. Power cycle the unit as well, unplug it from the power source, plug it back in. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: NO SOUND FROM CLARION XMD3

I have a XMD3 with Sirius on a Larson boat. Had same problem - everything seemed to be fine on unit (everything lit up and CD showed different tracks and time changing), but no sound. I suspected a ground problem and checked wires I could see. Found one speaker wire that had been frayed due to faulty installation. As soon as I wiggled that wire I got sound on all speakers. Not sure why one faulty speaker would kill all sound, but it did for me.

SOURCE: XMD3 unable to select anything but satellite

i have had several problems like that. It is probably one of your controllers especially if you have the old oval ones. Go to the back of the stereo and unplug them, then plug one in at a time and isolate the problem to a controller.

the only way to remove moisture is to get it looked at by a local repair shop .Or remove radio yourself ..let it dry for a few days and see if it helped .Water in LCD may not dry completely and may rust LCD with in time

Look for loose or broken wiring connections. Swap front and rear speakers wires at radio and determine if problem is the radio or the speaker system.

Disconnect all the speaker leads and then hook one speaker (a new, known to work speaker) up directly to the radio using a short (6"-12") piece of speaker wire. Does that speaker work then?

No ipod connection
I am not sure that you will be able to power the iPod through the sound system. Could you not run a nearby 12VDC plug for power without it looking bad or getting in the way?
This seems more of an iPod issue rather than a Clarion issue. You may be able to get a solution from the iPod Support community with a Google search for iPod Support.

I trust this information proves beneficial.

I have a Clarion installed in my boat. Sirrius, cd am fm. No jack to plug in iPod. Solution?
FM Modulator.

(clarion makes a hardwire direct connect one)

FM200

You would use a 3.5mm to RCA adapter

8655a90.jpg
There are also battery powerd ones (Belkin)


b935a1c.jpg

Either one is used by simply tuning in to an empty (white noise) radio station.

Im assuming the XMD3-RET is not the radio you are inquiring about since you described Sirius as a feature.

Some clarion radios have an AUX input or changer port that can be converted to an ipod cable.

If you reply with a model # i can look it up for you. I am a Clarion Dealer.

CD PLAYER IN boat says ACCS and does not work, i have power and i checked the fuse's all working but the screen reads ACCS and i cannot remember how i fixed it the first time this went wrong,
OK, so I spoke with a Claion reseller and they were very nice and helpful. ACCS mode is accesory mode. This can happen if the brown wire in the back touches ground or the case on the radio. If it is not, tap the brown wire on the yellow(hot) wire and that takes it out of that mode. I tried it and it worked. Good luck! And thanks Clarion for your support on my 3 year old radio!
