Troubleshooting

Most difficulties in audio systems are the result
of poor or wrong connections, or improper
control settings. If you encounter problems,
isolate the area of the difficulty, check the
control settings, determine the cause of the
fault and make the necessary changes. If you
are unable to get sound from the RB-1090,
refer to the suggestions for the following con-
ditions:

Front Panel Power Indicator
Is Not Lit

No main power to the RB-1090. Check the
front panel 

POWER

 

SWITCH

. Make sure that it

is set to the 

ON

 position. Check AC power

connections at the amplifier and the AC
outlet.

No Sound

If the amp is getting AC power, but is pro-
ducing no sound, check the 

PROTECTION

 

IN

-

DICATORS

 on the front panel. If lit, see below.

If not, check all of your connections and con-
trol settings on associated components. Check
the 

INPUT

 

SELECTOR

 

SWITCH

 on the RB-1090

back panel to be sure that its setting matches
the type of input you are using.

Protection Indicator Is Lit

The front panel

INDICATORS

 light

when the RB-1090 protection circuits have
shut off the amplifier. Typically, this occurs
only when the ventilation openings are
blocked, when there is faulty speaker wir-
ing, or after a period of extreme use. Turn
off the system and wait for the amp to cool.
Then push the front panel

and out to reset the protection devices. If the
problem is not corrected or reoccurs, there
is a problem with the system or the ampli-
fier itself.
