Troubleshooting (continued)
6 . Speaker Buzzing or Crackling at high
volume:
a. Reduce any preamplifier/equalizer
low-frequency boost.
b. Turn off your "Sounds of the
Pacific Northwest" chainsaw and
bacon-frying CD.
7 . There is no audio input signal, but
the Zone Status LEDs are still blue:
a. Check the signal-sense switches in
the unit's web server tabs. If they
are not engaged, the zone status
LEDs will stay on as long as the
master trigger is enabled.
b. The zone status LEDs stays on for
2 minutes (depending on music
volume) after the audio signal has
stopped. This delay helps prevent
prematurely muting during quiet
passages or song changes.
8 . The unit is on but you cannot trigger
it off
• The unit will stay on if either the
12v master trigger is on, or jum-
pered on.
9 . Is an in-wall volume control rated at
100 Watts (continuous) adequate?
• Just barely is the simple answer. Go
for one with a higher rating if you
want a reliable long-lasting system.
Though the Director D2800 is rated
at 100 Watts, it is a conservative
number, and it can put out more
power if only a few channels are
driven. In contrast to the conserva-
tive rating of the Director D2800,
the wall volume control may be
rated using favorable assump-
tions. Also make sure the volume
control power rating is continuous
not peak. The continuous rating is
about one-third of peak.
