TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If you suspect your Cyrus aEQ7 is not operating to
specification, check carefully all system connections. If
problems persist, the checklists below may help.
If these suggestions fail to resolve the problem, please
return the suspect unit to your dealer for his attention.

Ensure the power to all units is switched off before
altering any connections and only switch the power on
again when the new connections are fully made.

No sound from either speaker

Check the connections to your cartridge, tone-arm,
Cyrus aEQ7, the associated amplifier and speakers.

Check that the Cyrus aEQ7 and associated units are
operational. Cyrus standby lights should all be green.

Check that the correct input (MM/MC) is selected.

Check that the system amplifier is set to the correct
input and is not muted or set to minimum volume.

No Sound from One Speaker

Check the connections to your cartridge tone-arm
Cyrus aEQ7, the associated amplifier and speakers.

If your loudspeakers are fitted with protection fuses,
check that the fuse is intact.

Check the Balance Control is not at an extreme limit.

Try another interconnect cable between the Cyrus
aEQ7 
and the amplifier.

If the problem persists:

Interchange left and right channels at the Cyrus aEQ7
input. If the missing channel switches over there is a
problem with the cartridge or the interconnect cable.

Muffled or Distorted Sound on Both Channels

Check that the tone-arm ground wire is connected.

Check stylus condition, alignment and tracking force.

A MM cartridge may be connected to the MC input.

An MC cartridge is being used with too low a load.

Distortion on One Channel

Check stylus condition, alignment and tracking force.

The sound level is too low but the quality is OK

A MC cartridge may be connected to the MM input.

Hum Or Interference is Present in The Background

Check that the tone-arm ground wire is connected.

Reposition your turntable, check for sources of
interference e.g. computers, mains transformers, etc.

If the problem persists:

Refer to your dealer for assistance.

Note: Restore the system to its original configuration after
completion of all tests.
