To create the correct gain structure for the RCA jacks, a new PZS 140 unit has jumpers from the Hi-Z negative input to ground on channels 3-5. If your unit does not have such jumpers in place, and you intend to use the RCA jacks as inputs, it is suggested that you add the jumper to that particular channel.
