Remote turn-on voltage. Check remote connections at amplifier and source unit.
Blown amplifier fuse. Replace with new fuse (same rating).
Power wires not connected. Check power and ground wiring at amplifier and
at battery.
Speaker leads shorted. Check speaker continuity to ground, it should not show
a common ground.
Speakers not connected or are blown. Check speaker connections at amplifier,
measure coil impedance.
Problem
Audio cycles on and off.

Thermal protection circuits are shutting amplifier off. Check location for adequate
ventilation; consult an authorized Clarion Audio dealer.
Problem
Distorted audio.
Solution
Input Gain is not set properly, or damaged speaker cones. Review Setting Gain;
inspect each speaker. (i.e. check connection, speaker impedance, etc.)
Problem
Audio lacks punch.
Solution
Speakers wired incorrectly, which causes cancellation of bass frequencies.
Check polarity of wires from amplifier to each speaker as defined by the
system design.
Problem
Amplifier fuse keeps blowing.
Solution
Incorrect wiring or short circuit. Review installation and check all wiring
connections.
Problem
Whining or ticking noise in the audio with engine on.

Amplifier is picking up alternator noise or radiated noise. Lower input
gain; move audio cables away from power wires. Check power and ground
connections on amplifier; check alternator and/or voltage regulator; test for weak
battery, check power and ground connections of battery.
