Hi Everybody,
I am Ki, living in India, a proud owner of a pair of RF-3IIs ( => am a newbie, who has just began the holy journey !).
I have recently bought the Marantz SR5300 receiver to feed the RF-3IIs (solely in stereo mode ), replacing my old Marantz PM-54 MkII. Everything was going fine, until I noticed that the PEAK LED in the receiver is appearing even at medium volumes (-10 db ), when I am playing through CD Analog input, and when the unit is heated up. The LED doesnt appear, when unit is cold, even at high volumes. Also it doesnt appear, when unit is switched to source direct mode, even at high volumes (10db) and high temperature !
There was no mention of this PEAK LED in the manual ! Is this LED some sort of clipping indicator or does it mean that the output voltage of my CD-Player is higher than what is expected by the receiver? If so, why does the LED appear, only at high temperature?
NOTE: The unit is properly connected, ventilated and no wire strands are touching the receiver chassis.
Any information regarding this problem would be highly appreciated!
Three cheers,
Ki (male ).
