Troubleshooting

The Mini-X A-100 amplifier is carefully designed and manufactured from high quality precision components to ensure years of trouble free operation. We really doubt you’ll ever have any problems with your A-100, but if you do, here are a few things you could try.

First verify that the Line Voltage selector on the rear panel is set to the correct voltage.

Problem: No sound is heard from either channel (nothing is lit)

You have no AC power

•Verify that the rear panel AC Power switch is On

•Check your source

•Check your speaker connections and speakers

Problem: No sound is heard from either channel (the Status ring is FLASHING AMBER)

The A-100 is in Protect mode, which indicates a Fault condition

•Switch the AC Power switch Off and On to clear the Fault condition

•Check your source (unplug the source and see if the fault goes away)
