The rs-232 port is used for down loading software to your system. This port allows you to down load upgraded software from your computer to your pre-amp via a null modem cable. I have pulled software right off the internet and down loaded to my pr... 
HUM dilemma Can anyone solve This one?
Mixing lighting and plugs on the same circuit is an industry no no.(Electrical construction) Who ever wired your house was not very bright. You may have a grounding problem at the panel itself. Or somewhere in the circuit. An unbalanced neutral or...
