Amplifier Visual Troubleshooting

slight distortion and turn the level control back slightly for an undistorted output.. Depending on your system, the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels..

6.Turn up the level control corresponding to the tweeter output until you hear slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted output.. Depending on your system the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels..

7.Fine-tune the output level between midrange and tweeters.. Refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this manual for detailed instructions..

8.Repeat Steps 5-7 for the rear speakers.. If you do not have rear speakers continue to Step 10..

9.Set levels between the front and rear midrange and tweeters for optimum front/rear balance..

10.Turn up the level control corresponding to the woofer output until you hear slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted output..

11.Fine-tune the output level between satellite speakers and the woofers.. Refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this manual for detailed instructions..

12.Enjoy your awesome Orion sound system..

Your new XTR amplifier has three indicator lights (LED’s) mounted on the top plate of the amplifier as seen in the next figure.. These lights are very useful in trouble shooting possible amplifier problems and issues..

Power LED: This LED lights up green when the amplifier is turned on.. This represents normal operation if the Protection and Thermal LED’s next to it are off..

Protection LED: This LED lights up red if the amplifier goes into protection.. Below is a description of reasons the amplifier could engage the protection circuit.. The protection indications will self reset once the condition has been fixed..

•Short: Speaker wires pinched or shorted together or to ground (frame of vehicle)..

•Overcurrent: Check for possible speaker issue(s) or speaker wiring pinched in a door or other metal.. Make sure speaker(s) load is not below the minimum impedance load..

•DC Offset: This can happen if the installation inadvertently connects the power wire to the speaker input(s).. This can also happen if the amplifier has an internal problem..

•Undervoltage: Vehicle charging system is not supplying enough voltage to the amplifier.. This can also occur if you use too small a gauge wire or the terminals connecting the amplifier power to the electrical system are dirty or corroded..

•Overvoltage: Vehicle charging system is supplying too much voltage or over the amplifiers rated DC input.. Usually this occurs when there is a problem with the electrical system.. Turn off the headunit when jump-starting the car..
