Enters standby mode
early.
The output signal level of the
source may be too low to cross
the signal detection threshold
of the amplifier (see amplifier

Blinks
Audio clipping is occurring at the rate
of one blink per clip.
Reduce the power output to
avoid overdriving the amplifier,
causing clipping.
Lights steady The amplifier may be overheating.
Determine the reason for the
overheated state and allow the
amplifier to cool. The LED will not
be lit after the amplifier recovers
from the overheated state.
Output channel leads are shorted
Check speakers and speaker
wiring for shorts.
Over Temp Indicator LED
This indicator does not represent a hard failure of the unit. It is meant as a warning that
the amplifier has exceeded the recommended operating temperature for optimal product
lifetime.

Problem Description
Problem Solution
Lights steady Amplifier has exceeded the
recommended operating
temperature. The LED turns off after
the amplifier cools down sufficiently.
•
Verify that the placement of the
