POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Input (or output) cables are disconnected.
• Protection circuit may be activated.
• Volume is too high.
• The speaker cord is shorted.
• The input sensitivity adjusting control is not set to the correct
position.
• The speakers wire are connected with wrong + /-polarity.
• A speaker wire is pinched by a screw in the car body.
• The switches may be set improperly.
• The AMP CONT has been turned "OFF".
• The filtered band has been controlled by the Amplifier Control.
• The AMP Control of the Center Unit is being used.
• An incorrect ID number is used for the Master amplifier.
• The ID number of the amplifier has been changed.
SOLUTION
• Connect the input (or output) cables.
• Check connections by referring to "Protection function".
• Replace the fuse and use lower volume.
• After check the speaker cord and fixing the cause of the short,
replace the fuse.
• Adjust the control correctly referring to "Controls".
• Connect them properly checking the + / - of the terminals
and wires well.
• Connect the speaker wire again so that it is not pinched by
anything.
• Set switches properly by referring to "System examples".
• Turn the AMP CONT "ON".
• Turn the filter Off.
• Release the AMP Control mode of the Center Unit.
• Always set the ID number of the Master amplifier to "0".
• After you have changed the ID number of an amplifier, turn Off
the POWER switch of the Center Unit first, then turn it On again.
