Infrared Remote Codes
'Connect' models only.
'Connect' amplifiers have an IR input and output for use with universal remote controls. The commands for the amplifiers follow the standard NEC protocol and can be downloaded from: monitoraudio.com
Troubleshooting
Fault LED Indicators:
White LED - channel is clipping/ in protection mode
When the input signal is too high the channel LED's will illuminate solid white. If this happens decrease either the trim level on the amp or decrease the volume of the audio source.
Flashing White LED - thermal protection
If this happens we would recommend switching off the amplifier and leaving it to cool down to room temperature before powering back On.
Other faults:
No Power
If there is no power to the amplifier check the fuse inside the plug (if applicable) and the amps internal fuse, refer to the Connections Overview on page 3.
No Sound
Ensure to check all connections and cables, if the amp is a 'Connect' model ensure channels are routed correctly and not muted.
If the amplifier is configured in bridge mode ensure the switch/ settings and wiring are correctly configured.
If it still does not output a signal or the fault mode is still present, please contact your local dealer/ distributor or Monitor Audio immediately.
