Adjust gain control on Source
unit
or
at amplifier Input.

and off:
If pop noise
is
gone try a
different Source Unit.
Possible ground loop noise
Check to make sure grounds
are correct so
No
ground loops
can exist: If poor grounds
Correct the grounding.
DC offset at amplifier output
Measure the amount of
DC
voltage across The speaker
connectors at the output
of
the Amplifier: If the
DC
offset
voltage at the amplifier output
Is
greater then 70mV
it
will
cause a turn
on
sound. Change
the amplifier.
10. Bass Boost Distorted
Input gain set too high or
Check gain settings: readjust
remote sub level control is
gain settings with remote sub
turned all the way up
