POSSIBLE REASON:
Input signal level is very low.
Input cables have become disconnected.

6 Troubleshooting
CONDITION: Thermal indicator is
flashing.
POSSIBLE REASON:
The amplifier has become too hot for
safe operation. Check for loads less than
2 ohms, and for excessive input levels.
Check for proper ventilation and proper
mode-switch setting. Driving low-
impedance loads while in high-voltage
mode can cause overheating.
CONDITION: All channel thermal
indicators are flashing.
POSSIBLE REASON:
Power supply thermal overload.
DC or excessive low-frequency signal at
the amplifier’s output has enabled
speaker protection.
CONDITION: Bridge LED is flashing.
POSSIBLE REASON:
The mode switch was switched while the
power was on.
