Re: Voices not working

2012-08-31 by tonezone020

Hi Peter.

I took the "best" pair (SSM2044+SSM2056) and placed them in different slots - slots are fine.

I then placed the 2 broken 2044s with the best 2056 - no sound with either.

I then placed the 2 broken 2056s with the best 2044 - no sound again.

Any ideas before I replace them ?

Best,
Tony
