TYPICAL PROBLEMS AND REMEDIES
Maintaining Your Ztuner v.2
Your Parasound Ztuner v.2 requires no periodic maintenance; it will thrive on your frequent use
and enjoyment. It has no user-serviceable parts inside. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
remove its top cover. The exterior can be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened only with a few
drops of water or glass cleaner.
Typical Problems and Remedies
No Sound
- Check that AC is live.
- Check the plugs for audio cables are secure at both ends.
- Make sure the control preamp/receiver is switched to the correct input.
- Is the unit on? Check the setting of the Man Turn On switch.
Poor FM Reception
- Poorly located antenna. Try repositioning the antenna or installing an outdoor antenna.
- An indoor antenna is inadequate. Building shields signals. Try cable company FM service.
- Bad connection at antenna. Check antenna connections.
- STEREO indication is not steady, switches back and forth to MONO. Station is too weak
to receive in stereo. Press Mono button to enforce mono.
Poor AM Reception
AM stations are more susceptible to interference from home appliances and electrical storms.
- Inadequate antenna. Use a longer wire. Try repositioning it in different directions.
- Static Interference from light dimmers or home appliances.
Could be poorly grounded AC house wiring. Call electrician.
- Static interference from certain weather conditions or nearby electric bus line. No remedy is likely.
Remote Does Not Operate
- Zone code setting does not match the tuner. Program the remote to match the
rear panel Zone switch.
- Weak or dead batteries in remote. Replace batteries and recycle old ones.
- IR Interference. Insure that the front panel IR receiver is not obscured or exposed to
direct sunlight or a plasma TV screen.
- Please note that the IR codes for the power On and Off keys on the remote handset are
dependent on the Zone setting for the Zpre2. Therefore the Ztuner v.2 and Zpre2 remote must
be set to the same zone to use the On and Off buttons. See page 11 for more information on
programming your remote control.
