Troubleshooting and Specifications

Troubleshooting

No Motion

Check that AC is live.

Is the unit on? The front panel Power Button should be illuminated in blue. If it is not, check the setting of the rear power switch. If it is set to the “Auto” position and the red Power Standby Indicator light is illuminated, make sure an input signal is present. If the switch is set to “Manual” press the front Power Button.

Check that input cables and speaker wires are secure at both ends.

Check the fuse.

Make sure the control preamp/receiver is on and the system speakers are producing low-frequency sound (bass).

Check for short-circuited speaker wires.

Check for excessive temperature and inadequate ventilation conditions.

Check the LPF Knob. Increasing the setting will increase the quantity of motion.

Check the Volume Knob. Increasing the setting will increase the quantity of motion.

Background Hum

Move the Ground switch to “Lift”.

Move audio cables and AC cords away from each other.

Try different routes for the audio cables and AC cords.

Make sure insulating shoulder washers are used if unit is rack-mounted.

Overheating

Remove any external sources of heat.

Increase ventilation around the A300.

Change Impedance switch to 3Ω/ch
