5 What to do, if ...

This chapter is designed to help diagnose and trouble-shoot some of the most common 
errors.

5.1 ... unit doesn’t turn on?

Is the AC plug from the Power supply connected properly to the AC outlet? –  

Secure 

connection.

Does the AC outlet that you have the power supply connected to have current, or is it  
possible that the fuse for that outlet has been blown? – 

Test the fuse for that AC outlet at  

the house fuse box.

Is the internal fuse blown? – 

Contact your dealer.

Is the power supply connected to the preamplifier? – 

Secure connection.

5.2 ... no sound is produced?

Do you have the correct input selected? – 

Select the intended input.

Is the selected source even sending a signal? –  

Select a different  input with another  

connected source to test if it works. If this source works, then you should test the first  
source to be sure that it is functioning properly.

Is the 

MUTE

 function activated? – 

Press the MUTE button on the remote, or simply turn  

the volume knob.

Has the unit encountered a static electric charge? –  

Sometimes it can occur, especially  

during winter months, when humidity is higher, that your clothing will carry a slight static  
electric charge. This charge can be transmitted to the preamplifier during normal use and  
may  confuse   the   microprocessor   used   to   control   the  

SnowWhite II

.   This   is   a 

common   problem   with   many   common   computers   as   well.   If   this   happens,   the  

SnowWhite II

 

will turn off the output relays to protect the rest of the system. To  

fix, first try  to change  the selected  input,  which should reset the output  relays. If this  
doesn’t   seem  to  work,   disconnect   the  AC  cord  from  the  wall  outlet  for approx.  30-60
