    Why is there no sound from my Cyrus Media Converter?

      Mr. Roger HornJul 27, 2025
      If there is no sound coming from your Cyrus Media Converter, here are several things to check: * Ensure the unit is not in Standby mode (the Standby light should be GREEN). * Make sure Mute is deselected. * Verify that the source is working correctly (e.g., the CD is playing, not paused). * Confirm the sample rate and sound format of the digital signal from the source are correct and within the amplifier's specifications, and that the program is encoded as two-channel stereo. * Check that the BAL control is not at an extreme limit and is centralized. * Inspect your speakers and replace any blown fuses. * Examine speaker cables and interconnects for faults; check connections and replace cables if needed.

    What to do if my Cyrus Media Converter says 'Over-temperature'?

      timothy60Aug 2, 2025
      If your Cyrus Media Converter displays an 'Over-temperature' message, it means the amplifier has overheated. This can happen if you're using low impedance speakers, the volume is too high for extended periods, or there's not enough ventilation. The amplifier will automatically switch off until it cools down. To prevent this from happening regularly, improve ventilation around the amplifier's casing. If the problem persists, your speakers' impedance rating may be too low.

    What to do if my Cyrus Media Converter has an output fault?
    • K
      Kristie WilliamsAug 7, 2025
      An output fault on your Cyrus Media Converter usually indicates that the amplifier output has been overloaded, often due to a short-circuit at the loudspeaker terminals. To resolve this, switch off the amplifier and inspect the speaker wiring for any short circuits, both at the amplifier's rear panel and at the speaker terminals.

    Why is my Cyrus Media Converter making spurious noises from speakers?
    • J
      Jessica GrahamAug 13, 2025
      Spurious noises from speakers connected to your Cyrus Media Converter are often due to faulty interconnects or connections. Check the interconnects and connections, and replace them where necessary.

    What to do if my Cyrus Media Converter shows a PSU fault?
    • B
      Brooke BoydAug 19, 2025
      A PSU fault on your Cyrus Media Converter indicates a problem with the internal power supply of the amplifier. This issue cannot be resolved by the user, and the amplifier should be returned to your retailer for repair.
