Hi, I dont think any people here is experience what i experience. I dont think is a problem with the ERC, but rather a problem related to the power supply. The ERC is designed to operate with either 120v or 230v. In my country, the voltage is 220 only. Most electronics will have no problem operate. But in my case, i suspect that the drop in voltage lower then what the ERC can accpet, will result in a shut down. Do you think this could be possible?
The shut down doesnt happend all that often, i can play music all day long and the next day, it might shut down on his own. I talked to emotiva, they ask me to send the unit in for check up, but i dont think is economical for me to send it over. The cost of shipping can set me a new player.
Anyone have any words, and what might i can do? Power conditioner or voltage regulator?
Thanks

Voltage regulator seems to be the right path. ...Ask Lonnie, he should know for sure.

Thanks If the voltage drops below the threshold, it will shut down and return to a standby state. 220v should not be a problem, but if it drops below 210v then it might see this as an error. If you can put a conditioner on it, I think this will solve your problem.  |

Thanks Lonnie,
why do you think a conditioner is better then a voltage regulator?

Thanks Lonnie, why do you think a conditioner is better then a voltage regulator? Basically the same thing. Sorry for the confusion. |
