Speaker Output
Low or Distorted Readjust input gains of
amplifier.
Check system with known
working source and repair
or replace original source
as needed.
Check XCard position and
repair or replace as neces-
sary.

ground wiring. Repair as
necessary.
Symptom Diagnosis Remedy
Input gain signal for
amplifier is incorrectly

Amplifier Noise
(Turn-on Pop) Voltage spike from out-
put of preceding com-
ponent is entering am-
plifier through input sig-
nal.
Voltage spike from re-
mote turn-on lead is
entering through REM
input terminal.
Disconnect input signal to
amplifier and turn ampli-
fier on and off. If noise is
eliminated, connect REM
lead of amplifier to source
unit with a delay turn-on
module.
Use a different 12 volt
source for REM lead of
amplifier. (i.e., battery di-
rect) If noise is eliminated,
use a relay to isolate am-
plifier from noisy turn-on
output.
