5. There is a hum coming out of the speakers.
• If you are running single-ended interconnects, make sure they
are not running alongside any AC power cords.
• If you are running single-ended interconnects, make sure they
are not too long. Long runs of single-ended interconnects have a
natural tendency to pick up noise even if they are shielded.

• If any source components connected to your preamplifier has a
cable TV hooked up to it, try disconnecting the cable television
line from the source. If the hum goes away, you will need an
isolation device between your cable and that particular source.

make sure that the ground wire of the tonearm is secured
properly to the ground lug on the back of your preamp.

• If the hum exists only on the phono input, make sure
the turntable/tonearm assembly is not too close to other
components. There should be at least 12 inches (30cm) clearance
from the other components. The more clearance you provide, the
better (as long as the tonearm cable is not stretching).

• Check to see if you have any halogen lighting or dimmers on the
same circuit as the preamplifier, as they can be the cause of hum
in power supply transformers.

7. There is a noticeable change in volume between one input and
another, even though the volume was not adjusted.
• You may need to adjust the input offset setting to compensate
for differences in output level between source components.
Conversely, the input offset setting may have been adjusted
inappropriately. Either way, you can correct the problem by
going to the following location in the menu system:
Menu ➝ system setup ➝ input ➝ input name ➝ offset
