Audio problems

Hum on analogue input

There is no reason for the 565 to produce hum on the analogue input.

❍Check the source equipment. Disconnect each source in turn.

❍If the hum originates from a ground loop an antenna or cable supply may be the cause, in which case an antenna-lead isolator should be fitted.

❍If the 565 seems to be the cause of hum consult your dealer.

Poor sound quality

Poor sound quality will usually result from driving an analogue input too hard.

❍Turn down the analogue input level.

❍To optimise this use the ADC Check procedure; see ADC Check, page 43.

There is radio interference

The 565 is a digital audio and computing device which has been designed to very high standards of electromagnetic compatibility.

If this equipment does cause or suffer from interference to/from radio or television reception then the following measures should be tried:

❍Reorient the receiving aerial (or antenna) or route the antenna cable of the receiver as far as possible from the 565 and its cabling.

❍Ensure that the receiver uses well-screened antenna cable.

❍Relocate the receiver with respect to the 565.

❍Connect the receiver and this product to different AC outlets.

❍If the problem persists contact you dealer.
