Problem Cause
Remedy
Power indicator light or the
display does not come on
when power switch is
toggled on.
No power at the receptacle.
Test by plugging in a light
or appliance that you know
works.
The power cord is not
plugged in.
Fuse may be broken.
Check and reset or replace
the appropriate breakers or
fuses.
Insure both ends of the
power cord are securely
plugged in.
Replace the fuse with one
of the spare fuses.
No sound when the volume
is turned up.
Make sure the volume is
turned up and be careful
not to turn the volume up
all the way (that should not
be necessary and may hurt
your amp or speakers)
Source selector is not set
to the source that is
playing.
Make sure the volume is
not turned too loud and
use the input selector to
try the other inputs.
You may need to adjust the
cabling from your sources
to better reflect the input
source selector labels.
The system sounds
strange. In particular, it
has a poor imaging
(soundstage) or sounds
“out of phase”.
Check that you did not mix
up the “Left” and “Right”
input cables from your
source and the output
cables to your amp. Also
double check the speaker
terminals are not reversed.
Simply reverse the input
and/or output cabling if
they are found to be
incorrect. Do the same for
the speaker(s) if needed.
The sound is way too loud
or too soft and volume
control does not seem to
work correctly.
This could be a cabling
problem.
The cable itself may be
faulty. It is not
recommended to have
power cords or video cables
running in parallel (or
bundled with) your input
and output cables. They
should be separate.
To check if the cable is
faulty, try swapping out
one set of cables for a good
set. Repeat the process for
each of your sources.
Finally, replace the outputs
to the amp. If the signal
cables are running parallel
with a number of video and
power cables separate
them.
Hissing, popping, and/or
crackling noise from the
speakers
Bad tube(s)
Switch between Tube or SS
output and check if it is a
bad tube. Try inserting a
spare tube if you have one.
