Possible Cause
Mains cable is not connected to a suitable
mains wall outlet.
Mains cable has not been firmly inserted into
wall power socket and the device's socket.
Otherwise it may be defective.
Unit fuse or unit is defective.
The currently selected audio source (5)(22) is
giving no signal.
The output of the source device is not connec-
ted or is wrongly connected e.g. not connec-
ted to the selected input channel terminal of
the amplifier.
Wrong input channel has been selected at the
amplifier.
Volume (LEVEL/VOLUME) is set too low.
The amplifier is muted (MUTE-Function).
The output of the speaker pair you want to
use has not been activated.
The speaker cables are not properly connec-
ted to the amplifier's terminal. Otherwise they
may be defective.
The source equipment is giving signal on
only one channel.
One of the signal cables between audio source
and amplifier inputs has not yet been plugged
in or is defective.
Channel balance has been set to the extreme
right or left.
One of the speaker cables is not correctly
connected or is defective.
Countermeasure
Connect to a functioning socket using a
suitable mains voltage.
Check the power cable. If necessary,
exchange it with a suitable mains cable
and push its plug firmly into wall socket and
the device's power connector.
Contact your dealer.
Switch on the source unit and begin play-
back.
Correct the connection.
Set the amplifier to the input that your desired
source is connected to (5)(22).
Carefully increase the volume (4)(19).
Deactivate the MUTE function (17) after, as a
precaution, reducing the volume level.
After, as a precaution, reducing the volume
level, press the "SPEAKER A/B" button (1)
associated to the speaker output used, so that
the LED next to the key is illuminated.
Check and tighten the speaker cables at the
amplifier (14) and the speakers.
Check the audio source. You can try to use it
at a different amplifier for a test.
Check the cable connections, tighten them if
necessary.
Set the channel balance (9)(21) to a reasona-
ble value.
Check and refasten the speaker cables at the
speaker terminal of the amplifier and at the
speaker's connectors. The cables coming from
both the speakers of a speaker pair must not be
connected to different terminal sets (e.g. one A
and one B) on the back of the amplifier.
