      Michelle PriceAug 19, 2025
      If there is no sound from any channel on your Current Audio Amplifier, here are a few things to check: * Ensure the amplifier is plugged into a working, unswitched AC power outlet. * Verify all audio cables are properly connected to the correct inputs; try replacing the cable. * If using a matrix switcher, ensure it's programmed to send a signal to your input. Also, check the audio format selected on your DVD player. * Confirm the master power switch on the rear of the amplifier is in the ON position. * Check the front power switch; the light should be BLUE. Also, check if a 12 Volt Trigger is applied.

    • D
      Darren NortonSep 4, 2025
      If your Current Audio Amplifier isn't producing sound, several factors could be at play. Ensure the unit is plugged into a working, unswitched AC power outlet. Verify all audio cables are securely connected to the correct inputs, and consider replacing them if necessary. If you're using a matrix switcher, confirm it's programmed to send a signal to your input, and check the audio format on your DVD player. Also, make sure the Master Power switch on the rear of the amplifier is set to 'ON' and that the front power switch is toggled to show a BLUE light. Check if a 12 Volt Trigger is applied.

    Why does my Current Audio Amplifier hum when the receiver/source is off?
    • J
      John ArmstrongSep 13, 2025
      If your Current Audio Amplifier hums when the receiver or source is off, the level might be set too high. Try turning down the rear Level or Global level. The issue might also be due to the Cable TV ground not being the same as the earth ground; in this case, insert an in-line ground isolator. It could also be a ground loop, try to common all grounds, isolate AC ground.
