Protective Circuits
The unit is equipped with protective circuits to protect the
amplifier circuits and
headphones
against damage. If a
protective circuit trips, the sound is instantly muted.
In
this
case, "PROTECT" flashes on the display and the OPERATE
indicator also flashes.
To
release the protective circuits, switch
the power
OFF,
and wait for approximately 1 minute before
switching the power back ON again.
At Power ON
For about 8 seconds after the power is switched ON, a
protective circuit trips and mutes the sound to give amplifier
circuits time to stabilize. Once the amplifier circuits stabilize,
the protective circuit releases and audio is enabled.
If Strong Bass Signals Are Input
A protective circuit trips if bass signals of an excessive level
are detected. A protective circuit also trips if an abnormality
caused
by
such reasons as an amplifierfault is detected
in
the
power supply circuit.
