on at all times (i.e., with an unswitched outlet). The power switch has no effect on this LED.

Active LED (green)

The primary function of the LED is to show amplifier operational activity. In the Auto-On mode, this LED turns on at the presence of an audio signal to the input jacks. The first time AC power is applied to the Cinema 260, the Active LED will light for about 3 minutes and then extinguish. This is a normal reaction of the Auto-On circuitry the very first time it receives power. Thereafter, the Cinema 260 is ready for automatic operation. In normal Auto-On operation the amplifier will respond “on”within 1.5 seconds it will turn “off ” about 3 min- utes after the signal ceases.

Whenever AC power to the Sonamp Cinema 260 has been interrupted,the Active LED will light up for about 3 minutes when power is first restored. The active LED functions as a normal on/off power indicator when the Auto On feature is defeated.

Protection Circuits

The Cinema 260 has numerous protection circuits. If any are triggered, the green Active LED will flash and you may hear the sound of the protection relay clicking to protect the amplifier. After the fault has been corrected, the unit will automatically reset itself for normal operation. But it is advised that you turn off the power switch while you are trouble-shooting for shorted connections of faults with source components.

The Sonamp Cinema 260 requires no periodic maintenance and has no user serviceable parts inside. Do not remove the top cover. Doing so will increase your risk of electric shock.
