KNOW YOUR CASPIAN

•When you first power up from the Mains Switch on the rear panel, the amplifier runs a self-test during which all the Indicators pulse twice. When the self-test is complete the amplifier goes into Standby and the MODE Indicator glows GREEN.

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

•If the amplifier overheats through overload or lack of ventilation, the Caspian will revert to Standby until it has cooled down. If it subsequently overheats the amplifier will revert to Standby and stays in Standby. You will then have to wait until the amplifier cools down fully and will have to bring it out of Standby manually.

In the unlikely event of an internal fault such as a power supply failure, the MODE Indicator light will flash GREEN and the amplifier will shut down. The amplifier will then run a self-test. If all is well, the amplifier will revert to Standby. If the fault persists, the Indicator light will continue to flash.

If you suspect that your ROKSAN Caspian 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.
