PROTECTION CIRCUITRY

The KMA-160 has a sophisticated series of circuits that protect it

from dangerous input signals or loads on the output. They also analyze various amplifier functions to prevent speaker damage caused if the amp should fail.

When the protection circuit is engaged, the amplifier will stop functioning. The on/off switch will remain illuminated and in the on position. Switch it to the off position. After resolving either the input or output problem and leaving the unit off for a short time, it can be turned on. The minimum cycle time for the protection circuit is i0 seconds. Important: if the amplifier does not come on following this procedure, contact your dealer.
