Roksan Audio LIII T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G, K a n d y Integrated Amplifier, Symptom

KNOW YOUR KANDY

•When you first power up from the Mains Switch on the rear panel, the amplifier goes into Standby and the MODE Indicator glows GREEN.

•During Standby, the power stage of the amplifier is shut down to reduce power consumption and heat.

•In normal operation when an external fault such as a short circuit on the loudspeaker leads is detected, the amplifier will go into standby and the speaker output and AC power relays will disconnect and the MODE indicator light will glow GREEN. Unless the fault is rectified the amplifier can not be brought out of standby.

•If the amplifier output current exceeds its safe operating range (very low loudspeaker impedance and high volume level) the Kandy integrated will revert to Standby. If subsequently the volume is lowered or the loudspeakers changed, the amplifier can be brought out of standby to resume normal operation.

If you suspect that your ROKSAN Kandy Integrated Amplifier is not operating properly, you should check all the connections carefully. Pay particular attention to speaker phasing and channel connections. Phono plugs should be fully inserted- a frequent cause of problems is that Phono plug surrounds do not make proper contact. Below are some commonly encountered problems with suggestions for possible cure. The list is not exhaustive: If you have any unresolved problems, please consult your appointed ROKSAN dealer or distributor.
