Owner’s Manual

Problem

Solutions

Amplifier will not turn on

Turn on both Master Power Switches.

Remote trigger cable not properly connected:
Verify connection of trigger cable at both ends.

Input plugs not connected to proper jack or are loose:

one or more channels

Check input connections.

Speakers not connected properly:
Check speaker connections at amp and speaker.

One or both of the AC power cords are not receiving power:
Ensure both power cords have power. The amplifier is actually two power amplifiers in one–a
3ch amplifier and a 4ch amplifier. One cord powers the 3ch amp and the other cord powers
the 4-ch amp. Two power controllers are used so these operate independently. If one breaker
(on the unit) is tripped or if there is no power for one cord, a group of channels will be down.
Depending on which has power, either 3 channels will be lost or 4 channels will be lost. The
standby/on led will be dimmer than for normal operation, but this may not be readily noticed.

Audio levels differ

Improper settings or output levels from the processor or controller:

Check the settings on your preamp, processor or controller.

Audio plays, then cuts off

Amplifier shorted:

Check speaker connections for short circuit at amp and speaker.
