Amplifier Shuts Down After Playing For A Period Of Time; Distorted Audio; Amplifier Fuse Keeps Blowing; Whining Noise When Engine On - Clarion XH5210 Mode D'emploi Et Manuel D'installation

Amplifier shuts down after playing for a period of time

• Thermal protection circuits are shutting the amplifier off: Check the location
for adequate ventilation. Relocate amplifier as required. Consult an authorized
Clarion audio dealer.

Distorted audio

• Gain is not properly set: review the instructions for setting the gain.
• Speaker cones are damaged: inspect each speaker cone for signs of damage,
such as a frozen cone, burnt smell, separated or ripped surround or separated
spider.

Amplifier fuse keeps blowing

• Incorrect wiring or short circuit: review the installation and check all wiring
connections.
• Amplifier being driven too hard:
Turn down the volume, gain or bass boost.
• Undersized or faulty fuse installed:
Replace the amplifier fuse with the same
rating fuse as the one that shipped with
the unit.

Whining noise when engine on

• RCA cables too close to the power wire: Separate RCA and power cables.
Ground loops are caused by a mismatch in the ground potential (voltage)
between two sources. Current flows through the shield of the RCA cable and is
quickly picked up by the amplifier. There are several ways to solve this problem:
• Re-ground the amplifier to a more electrically conductive location.
• Re-ground the head unit to a more electrically conductive location.
• Run a ground wire from the head unit to the amplifier ground.
• Upgrade or replace the ground wire on the battery and alternator.
• Run a ground cable from the negative terminal of the battery to the amplifier.
• Wire the entire audio system using a single connection point to the chassis.
• Induced noise: Relocate components away from electrical noise sources:
• Engine control computers.
• ABS brake control modules.
