OPERATION

Should the amplifier turn off when either output cable is connected, the

problem is cable or speaker related. Check to make sure there are good mechanical connections on the speaker cabling and there are no frayed ends or wires shorting the output terminals together. Have your speaker cables checked and repaired if necessary by your dealer before proceeding.

3.If the amplifier turns on normally with only the speaker cables connected to the output, turn the amplifier off and reconnect the interconnect cable for one channel only. If the amplifier turns on normally reconnect the other channel's interconnect cable and turn on the amplifier.

Should the amplifier turn off when either interconnect cable is connected, the problem is cable, preamp or source component related.

Check to make sure there are good mechanical connections on the intercon-

nect cabling and there are no broken terminations. Have your interconnect cables checked and repaired if necessary by your dealer before proceeding.

Should the cabling from the preamplifier to the amplifier input be functional,

check source component interconnects. Should the interconnects prove to

be sound throughout the system, have the preamplifier and any suspect source components checked. The source components should be checked individually through the preamp, should the preamp prove to work properly.

4.Should all of the system components, cabling and AC power requirements

be sound and the amplifier continues to not work, call your dealer,

distributor or KRELLto arrange for service. Service can be handled directly through KRELL. Should you need a KRELLcomponent serviced please call the factory to discuss the problem and obtain a Return Authorization number (RA#) and shipping information.
