Protection Circuitry

The built-in amplifier incorporates special protection circuitry which will disable the amplifier if any of the following should occur:

Input overload

Short circuit

Extremely high temperatures

If any of these conditions is detected, the amplifier will go into a self- preservation mode, and the PROTECT LED on the control panel will glow in RED color.

What should I do if the POWER STATUS LED turns RED?

If you observe that the POWER STATUS LED IS RED, please check the system carefully to determine what has caused the protection circuit to engage.

To reset the amplified subwoofer when it is in PROTECT mode, turn the power off to the system (usually by turning off the head unit or other signal source which feeds the amplifier) and then turn it on again.

If the internal amplifier has shut down due to thermal overload, you should first allow it to cool down before restarting.

If the shut down was due to either an input overload or a short circuit, be sure to correct these conditions before attempting to power up the subwoofer again.
