Because of the nature of our digital sound processors and the variety of effects that can be achieved with them, there
are operational details, tips and advice too numerous to include in an instruction manual such as this. For additional

Troubleshooting
Power LED not lit
: Is the Remote switch cable from the source unit (Cassette or CD Player) attached to the REM terminal
of the DYNAMATE, and is the source unit switched on? Are the
12V and GND (Ground) terminals connected correctly?
Is the Ground cable properly attached to the chassis of the vehicle or to an existing ground point that is known to be OK?
No Sound
: Adjust the level of the Input Gain Controls. Adjust the level of the Output Gain Controls. Are the Input and
Output signal cables correctly connected? If there is only sound from one channel, swap the Left and Right channel Input
cables at the DYNAMATE - if the fault moves to the other channel then the fault is with the cable or source unit. If the
fault remains in the same channel, swap the Left and Right channel Output cables at the DYNAMATE - if the fault still
remains on the same
then the fault is with a cable or a unit after the DYNAMATE (power amplifier, active crossover
speaker
or the speaker). Check gain controls on those units and any input switching options. If the fault moves to the other
speaker
then the DYNAMATE may be faulty - leave it installed in your system and return to your dealer so that they can check it.
Distorted Sound or Low Volume
: Adjust the Input and Output Gain Controls of the DYNAMATE, and the Input Level
Controls of the power amplifier (and/or active crossover or additional processor where applicable). Check if the amplifier
has a built-in crossover network - is it switched correctly?
