Troubleshooting
No sound from speakers
Check that the amplifier is powered on, all speaker cables are securely connected to both the amplifier and speakers, and the volume is turned up. Ensure the correct input source is selected and the mute function is not active.
Bluetooth connection issues
Ensure the amplifier is in Bluetooth pairing mode. Turn off and on Bluetooth on your source device. Move the source device closer to the amplifier and away from other wireless interference. Reset the amplifier's Bluetooth connection if possible.
Distorted or poor audio quality
Reduce the volume to prevent clipping. Check speaker connections for looseness or corrosion. Ensure the amplifier is not overheating. Verify that the audio source itself is not of low quality.
Only one zone is working
Verify that all speaker pairs are correctly wired to the amplifier's respective output channels. Check the Matrix Mixer settings to ensure the desired input and volume are assigned to all active zones.
Amplifier overheating
Ensure the amplifier has adequate ventilation and is not placed in a confined space. Clean any dust buildup from vents. If used outdoors in a protective enclosure, ensure the enclosure is also well-ventilated.
