Check AC plug. Confirm that AC outlet works by plugging

 

Clip LEDs not lit

in another device.

 

 

 

 

Output Current LEDs are lit

Make sure the signal source is operating and try another

Output Current LEDs are lit

Check the speaker wiring for breaks.

 

Signal LEDs responding to signal level

Try another speaker and cable.

 

Signal LEDs show red (Protect Mode)

Overheating will cause protective muting. Check for

 

 

proper ventilation. If the fan isn’t running the amplifier

 

 

requires servicing.

No Channel Separation

Check the mode indicators on the front panel and make

sure the mode selector on the rear panel is in the stereo-

 

 

position. Make sure other equipment in the signal path

 

 

such as mixers and preamps are set for stereo, not mono

Distorted Sound

Power LED is lit

A faulty speaker or a loose connection could cause this.

 

 

Check the wiring and try another speaker.

 

Signal LEDs responding to signal level

The signal source might be clipping. Keep the volume

 

 

pots at least halfway up so that the source does not have

 

 

to be overdriven.

 

Clip LEDs not lit

Keep the volume pots at least halfway up and try

 

 

changing input sensitivity from 1,4 V to 32 dB or 26 dB

 

 

with the gain selector on the rear.

Hiss

Hiss

Unplug the amplifier input to confirm that the hiss is

 

 

coming from the source or from a device upstream. Erratic

 

 

or popping noises indicate an electronic fault in the

 

 

offending unit. To keep the noise floor low, operate the

 

 

primary signal source at full level, without clipping. Avoid

 

 

boosting the signal further between the source and the

 

 

amplifier.
