connected source to test if it works. If this source works then you should test the
first source to be sure that it is functioning properly.
!/MUTE(% % $#-RPress the MUTE button or simply turn the volume
knob.
! / ( %(# ! % "% % %/6- – Sometimes it can occur
especially during winter months when humidity is higher that your clothing will carry
a slight static electric charge. This charge can be transmitted to the preamplifier
during normal use and may confuse the microprocessor used to control the
Exxact
. This is a common problem with many common computers as well. If
this happens the
Exxact
will turn off the output relays to protect the rest of the
system. To fix first try to change the selected input which should reset the output
relays. If this doesn’t seem to work disconnect the AC cord from the wall outlet for
approx. 30-60 seconds. Reconnect the AC cord and the amplifier should work
without any problems.

4.3 ... there i a hum?

can also be related to a magnetic reception. In this case however the resolution is
quite simple. Use of a shielded power filter on the antenna can reduce or eliminate
this hum. These types of shielded power filters are readily available at most HiFi or
Radio stores.
