Troubleshooting

P

Protection circuit

This is a function to prevent damage to components within the power supply when an abnormality such as an overload or excess voltage occurs for any reason.

In this unit, the STANDBY indicator and protection indicator blinks and the unit enters standby mode when an abnormality occurs.

S

Speaker impedance

This is certain-rated resistance of the speaker set to an alternating current and expressed in ohms.

The smaller the impedance, the greater the output.

However, load on the amplifier is increased. Use speakers whose impedance is supported by this unit.

If a problem should arise, first check the following:

1.Are the connections correct?

2.Is the set being operated as described in the user guide?

3.Are the other components operating properly?

If this unit does not operate properly, check the items listed in the table below. Should the problem persist, there may be a malfunction. In this case, disconnect the power immediately and contact your store of purchase.
