Troubleshooting

 

Guide

  

 

Ultra

 

Series

 

amplifiers

 

are

 

expertly

 

designed

 

and

 

built

 

to

 

provide

 

years

 

of

 

trouble

free

 

performance.

  

Most

 

problems

 

that

 

occur

 

can

 

usually

 

be

 

solved

 

by

 

checking

 

your

 

setup

 

or

 

making

 

sure

 

that

 

the

 

audio

 

and

 

video

 

components

 

connected

 

to

 

the

 

amplifier

 

are

 

on

 

and

 

fully

 

operational.

  

 

NOTE:

 

Before

 

turning

 

on

 

your

 

amplifier

 

for

 

the

 

first

 

time,

 

be

 

sure

 

to

 

check:

 

 

1.

 

The

 

Balanced/Unbalanced

 

selectors

 

for

 

each

 

amplifier

 

channel

 

(located

 

on

 

the

 

back

 

panel).

  

If

 

the

 

selection

 

does

 

not

 

match

 

the

 

connection,

 

the

 

channel

 

will

 

not

 

work.

  

Make

 

sure

 

that

 

you

 

are

 

selecting

 

the

 

proper

 

type

 

of

 

connection

 

for

 

the

 

cables

 

you

 

are

 

using.

 

 

2.

 

The

 

status

 

and

 

meter

 

LED

 

selectors

 

on

 

the

 

back

 

panel.

  

If

 

these

 

are

 

in

 

the

 

‘off’

 

position,

 

the

 

status

 

and

 

meter

 

LEDs

 

will

 

not

 

light.

 

 

The

 

following

 

information

 

will

 

help

 

you

 

deal

 

with

 

other

 

common

 

setup

 

problems

 

you

 

may

 

experience

 

during

 

normal

 

use

 

of

 

your

 

unit.

 

If

 

problems

 

persist,

 

contact

 

Emotiva

 

support

 

for

 

help.

  

 

No

 

Sound

 

(from

 

one

 

or

 

more

 

speakers

 

connected

 

to

 

the

 

amplifier)

  

 

• 

Speaker

 

cables

 

may

 

have

 

come

 

undone.

 

Turn

 

off

 

your

 

system

 

and

 

check

 

the

 

cables,

 

tighten

 

the

 

amplifier

 

and

 

speaker

 

binding

 

posts.

 

 

• 

Damaged

 

audio

 

cable.

 

 

• 

The

 

preamplifier

 

volume

 

level

 

is

 

low

 

for

 

the

 

channels

 

concerned.

 

Recheck

 

the

 

preamplifier

 

calibration

 

procedure.

 

 

• 

A

 

preamplifier

 

Mute

 

switch

 

may

 

be

 

on,

 

an

 

external

 

processor

 

loop

 

or

 

a

 

tape

 

monitor

 

loop

 

is

 

engaged.

 

 

• 

Check

 

that

 

your

 

preamplifier

 

or

 

source

 

is

 

running

 

the

 

correct

 

surround

 

mode.

 

Maybe

 

it

 

is

 

set

 

for

 

2

channel

 

stereo

 

when

 

you

 

were

 

expecting

 

5.1

 

surround

 

sound.

 

 

• 

Check

 

if

 

any

 

missing

 

channels

 

have

 

been

 

turned

 

off

 

in

 

a

 

preamplifier

 

setup

 

menu.

 

For

 

example,

 

the

 

center

 

amplifier

 

channel

 

will

 

not

 

receive

 

a

 

signal

 

if

 

the

 

preamplifier

 

has

 

been

 

set

 

to

 

“Phantom”.

 

 

• 

Check

 

main

 

power

 

switch

 

to

 

make

 

sure

 

that

 

it

 

is

 

in

 

on

 

position

 

(1).

 

 

• 

An

 

internal

 

fuse

 

on

 

the

 

unit

 

may

 

have

 

blown.

 

Contact

 

Emotiva

 

Support

 

for

 

assistance.

 

 

The

 

amplifier

 

shuts

 

down

 

often

 

or

 

the

 

line

 

circuit

 

breaker

 

trips

 

often

  

 

• 

Check

 

that

 

the

 

positive

 

and

 

negative

 

speaker

 

wires

 

are

 

not

 

shorted

 

together.

 

 

• 

Make

 

sure

 

that

 

no

 

speakers

 

are

 

shorted

 

internally.

 

If

 

you

 

have

 

an

 

ohm

meter,

 

disconnect

 

the

 

speaker

 

wires

 

and

 

measure

 

the

 

resistance

 

between

 

the

 

speaker’s

 

positive

 

and

 

negative

 

terminals.

 

 

• 

Measure

 

all

 

speakers

 

and

 

check

 

their

 

impedance

 

specifications.

 

If

 

necessary,

 

review

 

the

 

“Series

 

and

 

Parallel

 

Connections”

 

section

 

in

 

this

 

manual.

 

 

• 

If

 

you

 

have

 

connected

 

speakers

 

in

 

parallel,

 

the

 

overall

 

impedance

 

may

 

be

 

too

 

low.

 

It

 

is

 

recommended

 

that

 

you

 

rearrange

 

the

 

speakers

 

in

 

series

 

to

 

increase

 

the

 

overall

 

impedance,

 

thus

 

taking

 

some

 

load

 

off

 

the

 

amplifier.

 

 

• 

Make

 

sure

 

the

 

amplifier

 

has

 

good

 

ventilation

 

and

 

is

 

not

 

overheating.

 

Allow

 

good

 

airflow

 

underneath

 

wherever

 

possible.

 

If

 

the

 

amplifier

 

is

 

in

 

a

 

closed

 

rack,

 

open

 

up

 

the

 

rear

 

panel

 

or

 

use

 

a

 

quiet

 

fan

 

for

 

improved

 

ventilation.
