QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Q. While listening
to my STUDIO 2 I experience
occasional
periods of silence
through my speakers.
Is my Processor malfunc-
tioning?
A. Drop outs are caused by two primary reasons.
First,
drop outs
can be caused by data corruption.
Corruption in the data may be
due to a poor input connection,
damaged or dirty source material,
or interconnects
which do not have wide enough bandwidth.
The
second item that causes the Processor to reset is the presence of
a transient
spike on the incoming AC power line.
The Processor
is resetting
all of its digital processing circuits
so that it can be
assured
that all are properly
synchronized.
Try changing your
source material
and check your connections.
If these are not the
cause, speak with your dealer about obtaining different
cabling.
If you are using fiber optics,
and source material and connections
are not the problem, speak with your authorized
dealer.
Q. Since I installed
the Processor in my system I have a low level
hum that
increases
as I turn up the volume. There was no hum
in my system until
I added the Processor.
Is the Processor
malfunctioning?
Ao The fact that there was no hum in your system until
you added
the Processor
indicates
that you have a ground-loop
problem.
Often changing the interconnect
to a fiber
optic
cable will
eliminate this problem. The way the digital
Processor and digital
source are connected to the AC mains often can be the cause of
grounding problems. Check for loose interconnect
cables and or
bad electrical
connections.
Consult your dealer
or Krell for
individual
system suggestions
if this hum persists.
