8. Solución de problemas

ProblemaPosible causaSolución
No power to the DSP.Incorrect power wiring; Blown fuse; Loose ground connection.Check +BAT, GND, and REM IN connections. Verify fuse integrity. Ensure a solid ground connection.
No hay salida de sonido.Incorrect input/output connections; DSP muted; Amplifier not powered on; Incorrect source selection.Verify all RCA connections. Check DSP mute status (Output Select button). Ensure amplifiers are receiving remote turn-on signal. Confirm correct input source (A, B, or A+B).
Calidad de sonido distorsionada o deficiente.Incorrect EQ settings; Improper crossover settings; Input signal too high/low; Limiter engaged excessively.Adjust EQ settings. Review crossover frequencies and slopes. Check input gain levels. Monitor Input LED indicators for clipping.
Problemas de conexión Bluetooth.Dispositivo no en modo de emparejamiento; Interferencia; Ya está conectado a otro dispositivo.Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the DSP. Disconnect from other Bluetooth devices. Move closer to the DSP.
Main Control knob is overly sensitive.Characteristic of the control mechanism.Exercise caution and precision when rotating and pressing the knob for menu navigation and setting adjustments.
