Hi All,

I have just received a delivery of 2nd hand, and according to sticker, made in 2014 (:D) Crown DSi 2000.

I plugged it in (only AC) and powered it on to see that input meters are fluctuating into 2nd light region (1st is labelled as ready so the 2nd is first of input signal being present as such). Please take a loo at the vid on YT I made.

There is nothing but AC cabled plugged in into it.

I opened it up and it basically looks like brand new - even fan is squeaky clean. Either it was thoroughly cleaned, but in fairness I have cleaned my share of electronics in life and to achieve that level of cleanness on fan blades is some achievement.

Squeaky clean Fan can be seen on top of this pic.

I more inclined to think it is some kind of refurb? Hard to say.

Anyway - is it faulty, is it normal, is it expected? I will not be able to test it with speakers for another 5 days but if it is an obvious fault then I would like to know to contact the seller.

I appreciate you comments!

You can load up the HiQnet software and see if anything weird is going on with the input levels.
