Troubleshooting
UNIT FAILS TO POWER UP.
1. Make sure unit is plugged in properly to wall outlet.
2. Make sure power switch is in the ON position.
3. If system still fails to power, check the fuse. Please make sure unit is unplugged from wall
before attempting to change the fuse! Be sure to use a fuse with the same rating as the old fuse.
UNIT TURNS ON, BUT NO SOUND.
1. Check that Levels are turned up.
2. Be sure all appropriate cables are plugged in correctly.
3. If using a mixing console make sure fader and balance are set to center positions and level increased.
4. If problem persist return the unit to Rockville or contact a local, qualied pro audio technician.
