With high volume levels of certain types of signals, the subwoofer(s) may be audibly strained. If you hear the subwoofer(s) “breaking-up” or distorting, turn your receiver’s volume level down.

If you have any problems or questions please contact your PINNACLE® dealer for further assistance.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

No Sound only from Subwoofer(s) - Please note that the PIN AMP 800 has a thermal protection feature which will shut it off if it gets too hot; it will turn itself back on when it has cooled sufficiently. Otherwise: Check PIN AMP 800 power / volume settings and all connections. Ensure that the center channel mode on the receiver is in the NORMAL or SMALL position. If you have connected the PIN AMP 800 via RCA cable and if your receiver has a subwoofer on/off or variable subwoofer output level control, ensure that the subwoofer option is turned on and that the output level is at maximum. Make sure the RCA cable is connected to the receiver's subwoofer output and not the subwoofer input jack that some receivers have. If the problem persists, refer to the TO OBTAIN SERVICE section of your warranty at the end of this manual.

No Sound only from Left and Right Front Speakers - Check all connections. Ensure that your receiver’s speaker channel A or B is switched on. Note: You must connect your speakers to your receiver’s speaker outputs if you connected the subwoofer(s) via the LINE INPUT(s).

Too Much Bass - Check: PIN AMP 800 volume / phase / frequency controls; receiver bass / loudness controls; program material; move subwoofer(s) further out of corner or away from wall.

Too Little Bass - Check: PIN AMP 800 volume / frequency / phase control positions; all speaker wire phase (+ to +, - to -); receiver tone controls; program material; ensure that the center channel mode on the receiver is in the NORMAL or SMALL position. If your receiver has a variable subwoofer output level control, ensure that the output level is at maximum. Try moving the subwoofer(s) further into a corner or towards the wall. If you have connected the PIN AMP 800 via a single RCA cable you may want to try using a cable splitter (Radio Shack part #42-2535). This will allow you to use both line inputs which will increase the input signal strength to the subwoofer(s).

Rattling Noise: Tighten the binding posts on the PIN AMP 800 & subwoofer(s).

Hum: Check for faulty RCA connecting cable. Try to separate RCA cables from power cords (they can induce hum into the system). If that doesn't work we recommend you turn off your PIN AMP 800 when it is not in use. This is most easily accomplished by connecting its powercord to a switched power outlet.
