QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
When I turn up the volume on the KAV-300i a loud hum is present from the
loudspeakers; what could it be?
Hum can be caused by several different disturbances.
Check to make sure
all of the cables into and out of the KAV-300i are sound and making proper
contact.
Make
sure there are no power supplies or hum
inducing
components on top or directly below the KAV-300i.
You could also be experiencing a ground loop in the system.
Put a 3 prong to
2 prong AC adapter (cheater plug) on the KAV-300i.
This should eliminate
the hum.
If the hum persists, you may need to repeat this procedure on
additional components
in the system.
Please contact your dealer or
equipment manufacturer before lifting the ground on any component.
Remember
to always keep one major component grounded.
If these
suggestions do not lead to a solution, please consult your dealer or KRELL.
. When I select the B1 input on the KAV-300i, one channel seems to have less
gain than the other. Is something wrong with the preamplifier?
. More than likely there is not a problem with the KAV-300i.
The balanced
input or output internal cable terminations could be incorrect.
Locate the
channel of the system that appears to have less gain. Switch that channel's
input cables.
If the problem now appears in the other channel, it is a
defective cable.
If the problem remains in the original channel, check the
KAV-300i output cables using the same procedure.
If it is not cable or
source related, call your dealer or KRELL.
Check to make sure the Balance LED is not illuminated.
If the Balance LED
is illuminated, correct the balance by pressing the balance control buttons
on the remote control until only the center balance LED is illuminated.
(See
BALANCE on page 5).
. When I use my surround processor, where should I set the volume on the KAV-3007?
When using the KAV-300is Theater Throughput capability, the system
volume control is performed by the surround
sound processor.
This
eliminates the need to predetermine a proper volume
setting for the
KAV-300i as the KAV-300is
level control is not active in this mode
(See
Optional Configurations page 6 for more information).
