No Power
z
Examine the power cord to be sure that it is connected to both the AC mains con-
nector and an AC wall outlet.
z
Try substituting another power cord.
z
Check the AC mains voltage setting on the back of the unit and see if it is according to
your local power voltage.
No Sound or Low Output
z
Examine all cables to ensure a solid connection between the TAURUS PRE and as-
sociated components.
z
Make sure you have selected the right input and output ports.
z
Make sure all associated components are powered on and not muted.
z
Make sure all associated components connected to the selected input are producing
an audible input signal.
Distorted or Partial Sound
z
Check the cables between the TAURUS PRE and associated components, making
sure all connections are good and sound.
z
Check out the output level of your source component and make sure it will not over-
drive TAURUS PRE’s input by delivering signal level below allowed level.
Noise/Hum
z
Check the input cables between TAURUS PRE and associated components, making
sure all connections are good and sound.
z
Make sure the input cables between the TAURUS PRE and sources component are
not routed near AC cables, power transformers, or other EMI inducing devices.
z
Try to use high quality interconnect cable with full ground shield.
z
Try to plug TAURUS PRE and associated components with different AC main socket
to avoid ground loop induced hum noise.
