Step 5

  • Using the metal spudger, pry open the panel with the metal spudger. Work you way around the whole device.
  • The headphone jack is flush with the paneling so the panel must be moved away from the jack completely to remove.
  • When reassembling, the ports don’t fit into their respective holes in the back panel. Use the sharp metal end of the spudger and pull the ports to their slots.

Step 6

  • Using the pliers, separate the wire connector above the left speaker.

I am having a problem with getting a solid left/right sound connection when using the headphone input with my Aux cord. I know it’s the input, and not my cord because the cord works fine on other applications. You must wiggle the cord once inserted to get both channels to play sound. I believe that the internal contacts on the female headphone port are  bent and are not making full contact with the male portion of the plug. If I follow your instructions on removing the back panel, is this an easy task to fix? This is the Model:NS-HDRAD2 which I think may be a little different based on inputs, but overall appears to be same regarding panel removal. you may email me at jeffksbr@mail.com  You have a great site with great instructions. Thank you so much!
