FRONT PANEL FEATURES

DDTTM ACTIVE LED INDICATOR (1)

Illuminates when DDTTM compression is taking place. This LED becomes a clip indicator when the rear panel DDTTM ENABLE/DEFEAT switch is in the DEFEAT position.

OPERATION NOTE: It is normal for the DDTTM LED(s) to flash occasionally during amplifier operation. If the LED(s) remain on continuously, additional headroom is needed. In some cases, this may mean that the particular application requires a more powerful amplifier.

POWER LED INDICATOR (2)

Illuminates when AC power is supplied to the amplifier.

CIRCUIT BREAKER (3)

This breaker is provided to limit the current to the associated power transformer and protect it from overheating and possible destruction due to fault conditions in the amplifier. The trip current values have been carefully chosen to allow continuous power output performance while still protecting the power transformer. Normally, these breakers should not trip unless there is a fault in the amplifier circuitry that draws excessive mains current. However, abnormal conditions such as a short circuit on either or both channels, or continuous operation at overload or clipping (especially into 4 ohm load) will cause the breaker to trip. If this occurs, turn the power switch off, then simply reset the breaker and correct the cause of the overload.

When tripped, the button on the breaker will be outward nearly l/2” and can be reset by A pushing inward. A normal reset button length is about l/4”. If this “thermal” type breaker does

trip, simply pushing the button back in will reset it, after waiting a brief period of time to allow it to cool down. REMEMBER, ALWAYS TURN THE POWER OFF BEFORE RESETTING THE BREAKER. If the breaker trips instantly each time you attempt to reset it, the unit should be taken to a qualified service center for repair.

POWER SWITCH (4)

Depress to the “I” position to turn the amplifier on.

OPERATION NOTE: This unit is equipped with automatic resetting thermal protection. If extremely high operating temperatures cause the protection circuit to engage, the unit will shut down. Once it has cooled sufficiently, the protection circuit will disengage and the amplifier will be re-enabled. Continued thermal cycling indicates a load problem exists (shorted cable or the total speaker load is too low), or there is inad- equate ventilation.
