table for possible problems.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

No sound.
(No sound from one side.)
(Blown fuse.)
• I nput (or output) cables are disconnected.
• Protection circuit may be activated.
• Volume is too high.
• The speak er cord is shorted.
• Connect the input (or output) cables.
• Check connec tions by referring to <Protection function>.
• Replace the fuse and use lower volume.
• Af ter check the speaker cord and fixing the cause of the short,
replace the fuse.
The output level is too small
(or too large).
• The input sensitivit y adjusting control is not set to the correct
position.
• Adjust the control correctly referring to <Controls>.
The sound quality is bad.
(The sound is distorted.)
• The speak ers wire are connected with wrong + /-polarity.
• A speak er wire is pinched by a screw in the car body.
• The switches may be set improperly.
• Connect them properly check ing the + / - of the terminals
and wires well.
• Connect the speak er wire again so that it is not pinched by
anything.
• Set switches properly by referring to <System examples>.
