QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. While listening to my REFERENCE 64 1 experience occasional
periods of silence through my speakers. Is my Processor malfunc-
tioning?
A. Drop outs are caused by two primary reasons. First, drop outs
can be caused by data corruption. Corruption in the data may be
due to a poor input connection, damaged or dirty source material,
or interconnects which do not have enough bandwidth. The
second item that causes the Processor to reset is the presence of
a transient spike on the incoming AC power line. The Processor
is resetting all of its digital processing circuits so that it can be
assured all are properly synchronized. Try changing your source
material and check your connections. If these are not the cause,
speak with your dealer about obtaining different cabling. If you
are using fiber optics, and source material and connections are
not the problem, speak with your authorized dealer.
Q. Since I installed the Processor in my system I have a low level
hum that increases as I turn up the volume. There was no hum
in my system until I added the Processor. Is the Processor
malfunctioning?
A. The fact that there was no hum in your system until you added
the Processor indicates that you have a ground-loop problem.
Often changing the interconnect to a fiber optic cable will
eliminate this problem. The way the digital Processor and digital
source are connected to the AC mains often can be the cause of
grounding problems. Check for loose interconnect cables
and/or bad electrical connections. Consult your dealer or Krell
for individual system suggestions if this hum persists.
