Why is the Soundstream Amplifier's left and right input overload indicator lighting up?
The left and right input overload indicators light up because the input signal level is too high. To resolve this, readjust the input gains or select the 0.5-5V input signal level range.
What to do if Soundstream PICASSO Stereo repeatedly blows the amp fuse?
If your Soundstream Amplifier repeatedly blows the amp fuse, it may be due to a shorted speaker or leads. Also, verify that the amplifier has adequate ventilation.
How to fix alternator whine while using unbalanced RCA inputs on a Soundstream Amplifier?
To address alternator whine when using unbalanced RCA inputs on your Soundstream Amplifier: * Ensure the channel 2 Input Signal Switch is in the "UNBAL" position. * Try setting the Input Signal Switches for channels 1, 3, and 4 to the "BAL" position. Leave the switches in the position that produces the least noise.
How to get output from channels 3 & 4 on Soundstream PICASSO Stereo Amplifier with 1 pair of RCA inputs?
To get output from channels 3 & 4 with only one pair of RCA inputs, select "Internal from ch's 1 & 2" on the Ch 3 & 4 input located on the bottom of the Soundstream Amplifier.
What to do if Soundstream PICASSO Stereo has no sound and power LEDs are not lit?
If your Soundstream Amplifier has no sound and the power LEDs are not lit, it could be due to: * No power or ground at the amp. * No remote turn-on signal. * A blown fuse near the battery.
