• Turn off and check connections.
• Check output level from sources. For example, laptop
volume.
• The amplifier chip has temperature and overload protection.
This means if the chip temperature is too extreme (outside 40ºC-50ºC) or the chip is overloaded, the chip will temporarily
mute itself. When normal conditions return, it will resume
working.
• Check power connections
• Volume too high
• Loudspeakers may be worn or damaged
• Turn off and switch output connections.
If the side changes the amplifier is okay.
• Switch input connections a nd check input cabling.
