TROUBLESHOOTING The product does not switch on Check the main power supply outlet plugging an other device in (a lamp for instance). If the power supply outlet does not work properly, check the connecting and automatic safety protections of your electric circuitry. For further assistance, contact a professional electricity technician. Remote control not working On one electronic device: Check that the IR receiver (close to the display) is not obstructed. Use the remote control in the axe of the front panel. On all the electronic devices: Check the batteries of the remote control. The remote control behaves in a very strange way: Check the batteries No sound from the speakers - The Mute mode is activated. Press the Mute button of the remote control. - The volume level is set up at its minimum (it displays -80) and you need to rise it up. The connected speaker is not the selected speaker. Activate the speaker selector on the remote control or on the amplifier by pressing the Function button. This amplifier can separately drive 2 pairs of speakers. By pressing Speaker A/B you can select A, B, A+B or OFF. - The connected input is not the selected input. Extreme sound distortion May come from the connection of a high level input (CD, Tuner, TV...) to the phono input. You may have connected a turntable equipped with a MM cell, selecting the MC choice of the sensitivity selector. The amplifier stops working during operation A wrong connection may perturb the electric power supply. It may come from a defective multiple plug. Warning! In this case, you must unplug the amplifier and fix your electrical installation. Overheat problem The amplifier automatically goes to protection mode while overheating. This may come from a lack of air flow that prevents from a proper cooling of the products (check that all openings of the cabinet are free from any obstruction). This may come from a high ambient temperature. The amplifier may have been exposed to a heat source (sun ray, heating system...) that may limit the cooling system efficiency. In any case, once the amplifier is back to a normal temperature, it shall run smoothly again. If the problem occurs often, contact your local CARAT technical service. Low impedance of the speakers (or more than 2 pairs) The amplifier is equipped with an auto protection against low impedance. It has been designed to be connected to 2 pairs of 4 ohms speakers. NEVER CONNECT MORE THAN 2 PAIRS OF SPEAKERS ON THIS AMPLIFIER Sound only from one side Check that the balance is not fully set up on one side (in this case, sound is barely audible, but still existing) May this happen with all the sources, check the connections of your speakers. May this happen with only one source, check the connection of this specific source. May this happen with the turntable, the problem may also come from the connection of the cell. Weak bass, diffuse stereo image One of the speakers may be out of phase: Check connection on all speakers of the system. Weak level on the turntable Your turntable is connected on a high level input (CD, Aux., Tuner...). Connect the turntable on the Phono input. Your cell is a MC type and the sensitivity switch of the back panel is on MM. The cell of the turntable is not properly set up : check the user’s manual of your turntable to fix this issue. WARNING : always lower the volume when modifying the set up. 14 Manual_A57mk2.indd 14 12/06/08 12:46:12
