Troubleshooting Signal and Power Problems, Continued

PROBLEM

CAUSES

SOLUTIONS

Missing front or rear channels

High-level wires making poor

Check all connections (include

using high-level components

contact at component or Switching

interconnecting wires) or use test

Module connection

Speaker to confirm that signal is
passing to & from each Switching
Module

Signal not bypassing Amplifier

Confirm connection at first (0)

Chain

Position of first (-1) Module of
Amplifier Chain; Check DIP Switch
setting – should be set to all on

Defective component

Replace component

Missing front or rear channels

RCAs making poor contact at

Check all connections (include

using low-level components

component or Switching Module

cables) or use test Speaker to

connection

confirm that signal is passing to &
from each Switching Module

Signal not bypassing Passive EQ

Confirm connection at first

Chain

Position of first Module of PEQ
Chain; check DIP Switch setting –
should be all on

Defective RCA

Check continuity of RCA cables or
replace

Defective component

Hum

Missing RCA ground

Check continuity of RCA cables at
component connection & at
Switching Module connections

Defective RCA

Same as above

RCA ground shorted to power

Same as above &/or use volt
