STA-100 Receiver  (310-2089)      Troubleshooting      Faxback Doc. # 16423

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS ...

We hope you don't, but if you do, here are some suggestions:

1.  Check all your cable connections.  Make sure all the leads and plugs
    are secure at both ends.

2.  Try a different AC outlet if you don't get any indication of power (and
    be sure you've got the line cord plugged in).

3.  Try interchanging cables and connections on the rear panel -- sometimes
    this will give you a hint of where the problem lies -- and may solve
    the problem for you.

4.  If the dial scale lights are on and Meter works -- but you have no
    sound -- make sure you don't have TAPE MON pressed in!  If that is not
    the case, maybe the automatic current limiting protection circuit has
    been activated.  In such a case, turn off POWER and check your speaker
    connections.

    Make sure there is no short across the speaker screw terminals (stray
    strand of wire touching between terminals or the metal chassis).

    If you are using more than one pair of speakers, they must be 8 or 16
    ohm type (two pairs of 4 ohm speakers can overload the amplifier
    circuit and cause this circuit to activate).

    Let the Receiver cool down for a few minutes and then turn POWER back
    on.

5.  If the dial lights don't come on, the fuse may be blown.  Check it;
    replace it only with a 3 Amp type.

In any case, if none of the above does the job and you still have a
problem, help is as close as your local Radio Shack store.  Bring your unit
in and be ready to describe the symptoms -- we will get you back into good
stereo sound ASAP!
