You need to plug the remote wire in also or it won't work. Plug it into an unused fuse spot and put the fuse back in. Or put it in the stereo fuse so it turns on every time you turn music on that way you save battery. It's kind of a hassle but that's how you do it.

It's a bad amp. You will have to get a new amp I had the same thing and had to get a new amp.

You may not have connected the "remote on" wire, which is a small gauge wire connected alongside the rca cables. The remote wire needs to be spliced with the receiver (usually a blue wire thats probably connected to your receiver's wire harness). Google it to be sure. Lots of tutorials. Oh, and make sure to ground it; you can ruin a lot of electrical components if u don't, including your new amp. Good luck

Yes, Make sure you have a good ground in order to get sound. You have to connect the remote wire from the amp to the radio's remote wire. To test for sure, connect the remote of the amp to the power of the amp.

Have you connected the remote turn on wire? It's usually the antenna, but putting "power" to the "rem" spot will work as well. Ground it too, that's a must.

Check all your inputs at the amp and at your head unit if they are good it's a bad amp. Ask for a replacement. Or get your money back. I've had two of these and the first one was Doa the second worked but was absolutely terrible. Find something better.

Check the grounding, the cable is properly attached to the amp, and the electrical outlet

Lee, I might offer that what you have is an electrical hum from an outside source like a computer or the current from your rig plugged into the wall. I experienced that before unplugging components and then listening. I still got to stick by this amp as it performs well for me not only busking a / stage work but studio work as well. Check for the proper wall adaptor or even call the people at Roland they actually answer the phone.well

maybe check your ground wire or other connections. mine worked fine right out of the box.

I don't know how did you plug in the speakers? It has 7 separate amps! Just be careful about its high-current capability, thats causing the over heating!

Make sure the input and output are correct. If it still doesn't work then it's the power source. Try a different outlet.

I believe the amp has built in fuses, or are you talking about for the power wire in line fuse to the amp?

1: Make sure that the right out put is selected weather it be CD AUX or whatever you are trying to get sound from2: Make sure you have to right type of speaker this power amp only uses one type of ohms If this doesn't help and even the radio doesn't work get a return auth from Amazon and have them send a new one I did have problems with the first unit I had and the second one has been working fine

interference of some kind or the speaker wires aren't connected correctly, or may be loose. I hooked ours up the way the amp I replaced was hooked up and the Pyle didn't work. Turned out to be much simpler. The second configuration I tried hummed and the sound was staticy. I think I have all 6 of our PAs combined to 1 set of wires and on one speaker connection and it has worked perfectly all summer. Hope that helps.

The amp will not turn on and off with the preouts, you need the remote. Please refer to your local installer, thank you.

I have not try that yet. But since you brought it up, I will test it. How the unit has to work with an amp.

You havent given me much to go on, such as what kind of speakers you are connecting, what connections and cables you are using, etc. I have this same amp and it has worked flawlessly for me for well over a year. Plenty of volume, and lots of headroom. I typically run the amp at about 60% gain and then simply control the volume via the input signal. Double check all of your connections and your input source. I highly doubt the issue is with the amp.

Try a different guitar and cord. If it is the amp, then you got a dud. Mine has almost no static or fuzz. Send it back to amazon for a replacement because it is a great amp for the price.

I grounded my turntable to the pre amp. Look. At the back of the pre amp for a ground bolt

Look at the power supply, it should have a voltage shown on the label, then use a Volt Ohm Meter (VOM) to check the voltage. If it reads at or slightly higher than the rated voltage then it is probably OK and the problem is in the amplifier. It could be either unit causing the problem. If it is still in warranty you might be better off to get an RMA from the manufacturer and return it for repair or exchange.
