TROUBLESHOOTING

Always turn down the volume to a low level or turn off all equipment before checking.

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

No sound.

•  (LED is not illuminated) Power Supply not connected 

to either NAD PP 2e or mains socket.

•  Plug in dedicated Power Supply. 

•  (LED is illuminated) Wrong input on amplifier/receiver 

selected.

•  Select input to which NAD PP 2e is connected.

•  Check to see if the MM/MC selector switch is set 

correctly for your type of turntable cartridge (make 

sure to turn off all equipment beforehand).

•  Plugs from turntable and/or lead from NAD PP 2e to 

amplifier/receiver sockets not property fitted.

•  Check all connections (make sure to turn off all 

equipment beforehand).

Sound in one channel only.

•  Plugs from turntable and/or lead from NAD PP 2e to 

amplifier/receiver sockets not property fitted.

•  Check all connections (make sure to turn off all 

equipment beforehand).

Hum or Buzz noise.

•  No connection from turntable to ground. 

•  Connect the turntable’s earth (GND) lead directly to 

a ground connection or to NAD PP 2e’s thumb screw 

terminal “GND” which provides the grounding.

•  Earth loop present.

•  If connected, disconnect turntable’s earth lead from 

amplifier/receiver.

•  Interference from nearby equipment 

•  Move NAD PP 3i and cables further away from other 

equipment.
