Protection Circuitry

The amplifier protection circuitry will disable the amplifier if the inputs are
overloaded, short-circuited or extremely high temperature conditions are detected.
When the protection mode is in operation, the LED indicator on the front panel will
be illuminated , indicating the amplifier has gone into a self-preservation mode.

If you observe that the protection LED is lit, please check the system carefully to
determine what has caused the protection circuit to engage. The amplifier can be
reset by turning the remote power off and then on again. If the amplifier shuts down
due to a thermal overload condition, please allow it to cool down before powering
up. If the amplifier shuts down because of an input overload or short circuit, be sure
to repair these conditions before attempting to power up the amplifier again.
