turning on your amplifier
1. When you plug your amplifier into the mains the power indicator on the front
panel will glow red which means that the amplifier is in standby mode.
2. Press the power button beneath the power indicator and it will then glow green
indicating that the amplifier is ready for use.
3. There will be a delay of about 12 seconds before you hear the signal. This is to
allow the amplifier to stabilise. The red indicator will illuminate.
4. The five blue indicators light up to show if clipping (distortion of the signal)
occurs on each of the five channels. To prevent clipping reduce the level of the
input source.
automatic shutdown
1. If there is a major overload or short circuit the amplifier will shut down
automatically and the power indicator will fade and switch to red. The amplifier
should be switched off immediately at the mains.
2. When the fault has been rectified the amplifier can be switched on and will power
up as usual. You should wait at least two minutes before turning the amplifier on
again at the mains to allow the power supply protection circuitry to reset itself.
