Troubleshooting Guide What might appear to be a malfunction in your unit may just be the result of slight misoperation or miswiring. Before calling service, first check the following table for possible problems. PROBLEM No sound. (No sound from one side.) (Blown fuse.) The output level is too small (or too large). The sound quality is bad. (The sound is distorted.) The sound does not change even when you have changed it with the Amplifier Control. The set value cannot be changed by the Amplifier Control of the unit. The Amplifier Control cannot be operated from the Center Unit. POSSIBLE CAUSE • Input (or output) cables are disconnected. • Protection circuit may be activated. • Volume is too high. • The speaker cord is shorted. • The input sensitivity adjusting control is not set to the correct position. • The speakers wire are connected with wrong + /-polarity. • A speaker wire is pinched by a screw in the car body. • The switches may be set improperly. • The AMP CONT has been turned "OFF". • The filtered band has been controlled by the Amplifier Control. • The AMP Control of the Center Unit is being used. • An incorrect ID number is used for the Master amplifier. • The ID number of the amplifier has been changed. SOLUTION • Connect the input (or output) cables. • Check connections by referring to "Protection function". • Replace the fuse and use lower volume. • After check the speaker cord and fixing the cause of the short, replace the fuse. • Adjust the control correctly referring to "Controls". • Connect them properly checking the + / - of the terminals and wires well. • Connect the speaker wire again so that it is not pinched by anything. • Set switches properly by referring to "System examples". • Turn the AMP CONT "ON". • Turn the filter Off. • Release the AMP Control mode of the Center Unit. • Always set the ID number of the Master amplifier to "0". • After you have changed the ID number of an amplifier, turn Off the POWER switch of the Center Unit first, then turn it On again.
