Troubleshooting & Maintenance

SDP-40

6-3

A humming sound is present in the audio.

1. If a cable TV connection is present, disconnect the cable from

the wall outlet. If this eliminates the humming sound, a ground
loop isolation device is required. Contact an authorized
Lexicon dealer or the cable provider for assistance.

2. Disconnect components one at a time to isolate the problem.

Once the problem is identified, make sure the associated
component is properly grounded and connected to the same
electrical circuit as the SDP-40.

The SDP-40 is powered on, but there is no video.

1. Examine the video cables – particularly the S-video cables –

to ensure a solid connection between the SDP-40 and the
associated component.

2. Check the INPUT SETUP menu VIDEO IN and COMPONENT IN

parameters to make sure the appropriate video connector is
assigned to the selected input.

RF interference is present in the audio or video signal.

1. Make sure the SDP-40 is not positioned near unshielded TV or

FM antennas, cable TV decoders, and other RF-emitting
devices.

2. Replace unshielded cables with shielded cables whenever

possible.

The SDP-40 is exhibiting erratic behavior.

1. Set the rear panel power switch to the c (“off”) position. Wait

10 seconds. Then, set the rear panel power switch to
the

|(“on”) position.

2. Use the SDP-40 configuration tool to download the current

SDP-40 configuration to a personal computer (PC) or document
all user-defined settings on the installation worksheet that
begins on page A-19. Then, follow the instructions on the next
page to restore factory-default settings.

If all else fails . . .
