Why is my Denon PMA-520AE Amplifier power on but has no sound?
If the power indicator is lit but there's no sound from your Denon Amplifier, check these potential causes: * Ensure the speaker cables are securely connected. * Verify that the correct input source is selected on the amplifier. * Make sure the volume isn't set to the minimum; adjust it to an audible level. * Confirm the input cables are properly connected.
How to fix Denon PMA-520AE when sound comes from only one speaker?
If sound is only coming from one speaker on your Denon Amplifier, check the following: * Make sure the speaker cables are securely connected. * Ensure the input cable is fully connected. * Adjust the balance control knob to correct any left/right imbalance.
How to stop humming sound from Denon PMA-520AE Amplifier when playing records?
If you hear a humming sound when playing records on your Denon Amplifier, consider these potential causes: * Ensure the player’s ground wire is securely connected. * Verify that the cables are fully connected to the PHONO terminals. * Try repositioning the amplifier away from potential interference sources like TVs or VCRs.
Why is the sound distorted when playing records on my Denon PMA-520AE Amplifier?
If the sound is distorted when playing a record on your Denon Amplifier, try the following: * Adjust the needle pressure to the correct setting. * Inspect the needle tip for any dirt or debris. * Consider replacing the cartridge if it is defective.
Why is the stereo sound reversed on my Denon Amplifier?
If the stereo sound is reversed on your Denon Amplifier, check the speaker and input cable connections to ensure that the left and right channels are correctly connected.
What to do if my Denon Amplifier howls when playing records?
If you experience howling when playing records at high volume on your Denon Amplifier: * Increase the distance between the record player and the speakers. * Use cushions or other absorbent materials to isolate the speakers and reduce vibration transmission to the player.
