Likewise, remember the weight of the amplifier when you select an installation location. Make sure that the shelf or cabinet can support its considerable bulk. Again, use common sense.

The
Most likely, you will never see this protection circuitry in action. However, should a faulty condition arise, one or more channels of the amplifier will stop playing.
If this happens, turn the amplifier off, let it cool down for several minutes, and attempt to identify and correct the problem that caused the protection circuitry to engage. When you turn the am- plifier back on, the protection circuit will automatically reset.
In most cases, the protection circuitry activates because of a fault condition such as shorted speaker wires, or inadequate ventila- tion leading to an overheating condition. In very rare cases, highly reactive or extremely low impedance speaker loads could cause the protection circuit to engage.

The Level Adjust controls enable you to individually adjust the in- put sensitivity of the three channel pairs. They can be used to set the sound output balance of the speakers in a home theater sys- tem, or control the volume level in the various rooms when the
