Troubleshooting
No Power
Examine the power cord to be sure that it is connected to both the AC mains con-
nector and an AC wall outlet.
Try substituting another power cord.
Check the AC mains voltage setting on the back of the unit and see if it is according to
your local power voltage.
No Sound or Low Output
Examine all cables to ensure a solid connection between the MERAK and associated
components.
Make sure all associated components are powered on and not muted.
Make sure all associated component connected to MERAK is producing an audible
input signal.
Distorted or Partial Sound
Check the cables between the MERAK and associated components, making sure all
connections are good and sound.
Check out the output level of your source component and make sure it will not over-
drive MERAK’s input.
Noise/Hum
Check the input cables between MERAK and associated components, making sure
all connections are good and sound.
Make sure the input cables between the MERAK and sources component are not
routed near AC cables, power transformers, or other EMI inducing devices.
Try to use high quality interconnect cable with full ground shield.
Try to plug MERAK and associated components with different AC main socket to
avoid ground loop induced hum noise.
