There is a short at a
speaker terminal,
amplifier terminal, or
wire.
The amplifier load is
excessive.
The heat sink
temperature has
exceeded 90°C.
A DC voltage of ±2 V
or greater was
generated in the power
amplifier’s output
circuit.
Locate and correst the
cause of the short.
Use a speaker system
with an impedance of
at least 4Ω (stereo) or
8Ω (bridge).
Check the amplifier
ventilation conditions
and take appropriate
measures to improve
airflow around the
amplifier.
Consult your dealer or
nearest Yamaha
service center.
