Troubleshooting
MLife will not power up
If the front meter does not illuminate when you press the Standby button on the front
panel or in the app, follow the procedure outlined below. If one step succeeds in
activating the power, stop there and ignore the other steps.
1. If the LED in the middle of the Standby button on the front of the integrated amp is lit,
push the button to turn the MLife on.
2. If the LED in the middle of the Standby button is not lit, check to make sure the AC
cord is plugged into the wall outlet.
3. Check at the back of the power supply to make sure the 15­amp IEC connector is
pushed all the way into the jack on the back of the power supply.
4. Check to make sure the power supply connector cable is firmly connected to the
power supply and the MLife.
5. Pull out the fuse connector at the back of the power supply, below the 15­amp IEC
power cord connector. Check to see if the fuse is blown. (The conductor inside the fuse
will be severed and you may see burn marks on the fuse.) Be sure to replace the fuse
with one of the proper value and type. Consult your dealer or D’Agostino LLC.
6. Check your household electrical box to make sure the circuit breaker has not been
tripped. If it has, flip the breaker back on.
7. If the breaker trips again, check the speaker cable connection on the MLife and the
speaker to make sure that the terminals are not shorted, and check the entire length of
the cable to ensure there has been no damage to it.
8. If all of these steps fail to return power to the MLife, consult your dealer for service.
Front indicator is illuminated but you hear no sound
Follow these steps in order. If one step succeeds in restoring the sound, stop there and
ignore the other steps.
1. If you’re listening to speakers, make sure the LED in the middle of the Headphone
button on the front panel is off. If you’re listening to headphones, make sure the LED in
the middle of the Headphone button is on, and that the headphones are firmly plugged
into the back of the MLife.
2. Check your source device to make sure it is turned on.
3. Check the source device to make sure it is playing, i.e., if it’s a record player, make
sure it’s spinning and the tonearm is lowered, or if it’s from a phone, tablet or computer,
make sure the music is playing (usually there will be an onscreen time counter that will
count down or up as the tune plays).
4. Make sure the MLife is not muted and that the desired source is selected.
5. If you’re using an analog source, check the line­level connections between the source
device and the MLife. Reconnect any cables that may have become disconnected.
