P.23

5.2 Problem: No Sound

Indication: On LEDs not lit

Clip LEDs not lit

•Check AC plug.
•Confirm that AC outlet works by plugging in another device.

Indication: On LEDs lit

Signal LED not lit

•Make sure the signal source is operating and try another cable.
•Check position of Volume Pots.

Indication: On LEDs lit

Signal LEDs responding to signal level

•Check the speaker wiring for breaks.
•Try another speaker and cable.

Indication: On LED(s) sequence
The amplifier is in protective muting. Refer to On LED flashing sequences
table to find out the cause for the mute.
•Overheating will cause protective muting.
•If the fans aren’t running the amplifier requires servicing

5.3 Problem: No Sound or Sound Is Too Low

Indication: On LED not or sporadically lit

Signal LED not lit

Clip LED lit

Under Impedance Limiter is active. The load impedance is abnormally low
or shorted.
• Unplug each speaker one-by-one. If the On LED indicates normally when

you disconnect a cable, that cable or speaker is shorted.

• Take care not to use too many speakers in parallel, which would result in

an impedance that is too low for normal operation!

Indication: On LED(s) sequence
Please refer to the On LED flashing sequences table to find out which
protection is active. High temperature will cause an attenuation of output
level! DC will cause the amp to mute or shut down.
• If the On LED sequence indicates “DC, Input Signal Fault”, switch off the

D-POWER 7

and unplug the amp to disconnect it from the signal source. If

the On LED shows the same sequence when the D-POWER 7 is switched
on again, the amp will need to be serviced by a qualified technician.

All other On LED sequences that shut down or mute the D-POWER 7
indicate a serious internal fault. At this point, turn the D-POWER 7 off,
remove AC power and have the amplifier serviced by a qualified tech-
nician.

5.4 Problem: No Channel Separation

• Check the mode indicators on the front panel and make sure the mode

selector on the rear panel is in the Stereo-position.

• Make sure other equipment in the signal path such as mixers and

preamps are set for stereo, not mono.

5.5 Problem: Distorted Sound

Indication: On LED lit

Signal LED responding to signal level

Clip LED lit only green

• A faulty speaker or a loose connection could cause this. Check the wir-

ing and the speakers systematically (i.e. step by step) and replace them
if nec essary.

• The signal source might be clipping. Keep the D-POWER 7 volume pots

at least halfway up so that the source does not have to be overdriven.

• Keep the D-POWER 7 Volume Pots at least halfway up and try changing

input sensitivity from 1,4 V to 32 dB or 26 dB with the Gain Selector on
the rear.
