Rail Fuses
Indicator LEDs on the rear of
the unit will glow red when
one of the fuses blows. Please
refer fuse replacement to a
qualified service technician.
Internal fuses on the power supply rails of each
channel protect the loudspeakers from excessive
current, as well as the amplifier from short-circuits.
If one of these rail fuses blows, that channel will fail
to operate, although the front panel LED will
typically continue to glow blue.
Do not remove the amplifier cover.
Hazardous voltages may exist inside the
unit.
Use of rail fuses other thana5x20mm
fast-acting 10 ampere unit may damage
the unit and void the warranty.
AC Line Voltage
If the AC line voltage drops below 80% of normal
(brown-out), the unit will revert to the red
“Warm-Up” mode with the outputs muted. After
the voltage returns to normal, the initial warm-up
cycle will begin again and the unit will then revert
to the green “Standby” mode. Press the front panel
button to return the unit to the blue “Operate”
mode.
DC Offset
The Ayre V-5x incorporates a circuit to detect the
presence of DC at the output terminals. In this
situation, the amplifier reverts to the red
