If the amplifier is linked to an AyreLink-equipped preamplifier with an alpha-numeric display, restoring operation of the amplifier will clear any messages displayed on the front panel of the preamplifier. (Messages may also be cleared by placing the preamplifier in “Standby”.)
DC Offset
The Ayre MX-R incorporates a circuit to detect the presence of DC at the output terminals which could be harmful to the loudspeaker. In this situation, the status LED glows red and the amplifier will not operate.
If the amplifier is linked to an AyreLink-equipped preamplifier with an alpha-numeric display, a message indicating that the amplifier has a DC offset will be displayed on the front panel of the preamplifier.
If there are any unusual noises coming from the loudspeaker, remove the AC power from the amplifier immediately. Please return the unit to your dealer or authorized service center.
To isolate the source of the problem, disconnect the audio input cable from the MX-R amplifier and then press the front-panel button. If the status LED glows green, then the problem is either in the preamplifier or the source component. If the status LED continues to glow red, the fault is in the amplifier. In this case, remove AC power from the amplifier immediately. Please return the unit to your dealer or authorized service center.
