Operating the HCA-1201A
Refer to Figure #1
Power Switch
Press the upper side to turn the unit on manually; press the lower side to turn the unit off.
Standby/Normal Operation LEDs
The red Standby LED will light when the amplifier is turned on either with the power switch or an external DC trigger. It will stay lit about four to five seconds while the amplifier circuits stabilize. After that, the red LED will turn off and the green normal LED will signal that the protection relays have switched off and that the amplifier is ready to operate. The Standby LED will also light whenever there is a short circuit or other fault that triggers the protection circuitry. This may indicate one of the following conditions: DC present at the amplifier's input, a speaker impedance overload, a short circuited speaker line, or possible internal fault. If this LED remains lit, remove power to the amplifier and check all connections. During this time, the protection circuits should automatically reset. If the red LED stays lit after you reapply power, contact your Parasound Dealer for further advice.

Main Power Fuse
There is an external fuse located within the AC receptacle that may blow as a result of an internal fault condition. This fuse protects the unit from possible damage to internal parts. Never replace this fuse with a fuse of higher value than installed from the factory. Substitution of a larger fuse may create serious stress and damage to internal parts and will void your warranty.
