Trouble shooting

Many   problems   have   a   simple   cause   and   a
correspondingly   simple   solution.   The   following   section
describes a few difficulties you may encounter, and the
measures  you  need to  take to cure them.  If  you  find  it
impossible   to   solve   a   problem   with   the   help   of   these
notes please disconnect the unit from the mains and ask
your authorised



specialist dealer for advice.

Notes on the remote control system

Changing the remote control address:

Nowadays virtually all modern Hi-Fi and video equipment
can be controlled using an infra-red remote control
system. Unfortunately only a limited number of infra-red
codes are available, and they are used by a vast range of
manufacturers.

The result of this situation is that mutual interference may
occur   if   equipment   made   by   different   manufacturers   is
used together in the same household, as the machines
may   operate   using   the   same   remote   control   code.   A
typical problem might be that your Hi-Fi system responds
to   the   remote   control   handset   supplied   with   your
television or video recorder.

If you encounter this problem, your

valve amplifier

can be changed to a different remote control level using
special software. Please contact your specialist

dealer for advice on this matter.

If you have this change carried out, the remote control
level of the

F10

handset will also have to be changed to

match the level of the Hi-Fi unit.

To change the remote control level hold the



button and the numeric button

pressed in

simultaneously. After about 10 seconds the LED will
flash. While the LED is flashing press the numeric button

to set the normal remote control level or

for the alternative level. The LED will now go out to
confirm that the switch has taken place.

Problem:

Machine does not switch on.

Cause 1:

Mains lead not plugged in correctly.

Remedy:

Check connection, push connector in
firmly.

Cause 2:

Mains switch on the back panel (in the
mains socket) not switched on.

Remedy:

Switch the mains switch on.

Cause 3:

Mains fuse burned out.

Remedy:

Have   the   mains   fuse   in   the   mains   input
socket   replaced   by   an   authorised
specialist   workshop.   The   rating   of   the
replacement   fuse   must   agree   with   the
specification printed on the unit.

Problem:

The unit does not respond to
commands.

Cause:

Static discharge or powerful interference
(e. g. lightning) have corrupted the
processor memory.

Remedy:

Disconnect mains plug, wait about
1 minute and re-connect. Switch unit on
again.

Problem:

Machine responds correctly to manual
operation of the buttons, but does not
respond to remote control commands.

Cause 1:

Incorrectly inserted batteries or flat
batteries in the remote control handset.

Remedy:

Re-install batteries correctly or fit new
ones.

Cause 2:

Remote control address set incorrectly.

Remedy:

Set the correct remote control address;

Notes on remote control

Cause 3:

Inefficient receiver position.

Remedy:

Make   sure   that   there   is   direct   visual
contact   between   the   remote   control
receiver   (on   the   screen   of   the

P10

) and

the   remote   control   transmitter   (handset).
Note   that   glass   doors   can   cause
problems,   and   should   be   avoided.
Maximum range between transmitter and
receiver approx. 8 metres.

Position the

P10

in such a way that it is

not subjected to direct sunlight or strong
artificial lighting. Fluorescent and energy-
saving lamps are powerful sources of
interference.
