Trouble Shooting
Protection Mode
A sophisticated monitoring circuit controls the operation of the amplifier. When an error is
detected, the amplifier shuts down into protection mode immediately and indicates the
status by flashing the Lyngdorf logo.
Protection mode can be triggered by:
1. Overload/short-circuit of the speaker outputs (limits current to approx. 35 Amps)
2. DC defected at the speaker outputs; this can be due to extreme program material.
3. Internal power failure burned fuses etc.
4. Mains supply voltage is too low or too high.
5. Overheating of the amplifier.
Most problems are temporary
Most of the above mentioned error conditions are normally temporary. When the
Millennium goes into protection mode, switch off the power and inspect the amplifier.
Check the speaker cables, feel if the cover is very hot. Turn on the amplifier again to see if
normal operation mode may be resumed.
If the error condition persists, the Millennium will return to protection mode immediately. If
this is the case, the Millennium needs authorised service.
NOTE:
No bridge coupling is possible.
The frequency response of the Millennium extends down to DC. Playback of material
with extreme infrasonic program material may cause the amp to go into protection
mode in order to protect the speakers.
Future upgrades & features
The Lyngdorf Millennium is a modular design, a platform for state-of-the-art music
reproduction. This means that you can add functions like an analog input Module, a Clock
Gate controlled DVD-player or simply upgrade to future Audio Formats.
That’s the beauty of the Lyngdorf Millennium concept; whatever the future standards will
be, you will easily be able to implement them in your system for a reasonable cost.
This manual will expand together with your Millennium. If you take the time to register your
investment, we guarantee that you will get information about future upgrades and
expansions when they become available.
