The Strength of Digital

Still Sounds Distorted: Look at the frequen- cies that you have selected for Para EQ 1 and Para EQ 2 and see how much boost or cut you have applied. Then look at those same frequencies on your Graphic EQ. If you have boost applied to the same frequencies on both types of equalizers, there is a strong chance you are overdriving your speakers and amplifiers at that frequency.

Output Voltage LED’s Don’t Light Up: If your system is playing music but none of the output LED’s are on, there is a good chance that the output voltage of your source unit is not that strong. Now before you call us and say, “The guy at the store said my radio has high-voltage out- put”, you might want to face the fact that there is “Engineering Voltage” and there is “Marketing Voltage”. Without picking on any particular source unit, remember that you do get what you pay for.

UNDER THE COVER

1)Input Grounding: For most systems you can leave this jumper set in the BALANCED position. In some systems, the source unit may look for a ground through the RCA connection to the amplifier and create a ground loop, which in turn can cause a whine (not the type that comes in a bottle) in your system. In that event, you

should go ahead and change the four jumpers to the UNBALANCED position.

2)Ground Isolation Selector: Occasionally alternator noise may appear in a system because the source unit and amplifier are using different grounding schemes. To help in this situation, we have provided alternative grounding connections. Make sure your system is turned OFF before you move these jumpers.
