Page 16: Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING Aside from faulty AC or DC power, most problems with the MX-5288 relate to damaged/poor quality cables or incorrect signal levels. If some inputs function correctly and others do not, interchange cables between sources and see if the problem moves with the cables. If it moves, a bad cable or cable connector is the probable reason for the trouble. -
