TROUBLESHOOTING

Use this troubleshooting guide if the sound is distorted at
high volumes:

• Input is clipping: Try lowering the input gain or the

volume control on your sound source or music instru­ment.

• Output is clipping: Lower the main volume level.

• There is too much bass: Try adjusting the tone or EQ

control on your sound source to lower the bass level.
This will allow you to play the music louder before clip-

ping (distortion) occurs.

• The link cable: is being plugged into the instrument or

MIC input instead of the RCA line input.
