Troubleshooting
Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of poor or wrong
connections, or improper control settings. If you encounter problems,
isolate the area of the difficulty, check the control settings, determine
the cause of the fault and make the necessary changes. If you are
unable to get sound from the amplifier, refer to the suggestions for the
following conditions:
Front Panel Power Indicator Is Not Lit
No main power to the amplifier. Check the front panel power
switch. Make sure that it is set to the on position. Check AC power
connections at the amplifier and the AC outlet.
Fuse Replacement
8
RB-1582 Only
If everything checks out correctly and you still cannot get the amplifier
to turn on, check for a blown fuse. Disconnect the AC from the wall
and remove the fuse holder
8
on the back panel. If the fuse is blown,
replace with a new fuse and try again.
Note:
Make sure that the power cord is disconnected from the
wall before checking or replacing the fuse. Replace only with the
identical size and type fuse (3AG125V12A for U.S. version or
5ST6.3 for European version).
The RB-1552 has an internal fuse. If you suspect the fuse is blown take
the amplifier to an authorized Rotel service agency to have it checked.
Do not attempt to do this yourself. Opening the enclosure of the
amplifier exposes you to dangerous voltages.
No Sound
If the amp is getting AC power, but is producing no sound, check
the Protection indicator on the front panel. If it is lit, see below. If
not, check all of your connections and control settings on associated
components.
Protection Indicator Is Lit
The front panel indicator lights when the amplifier protection circuits
have shut off the amplifier. Typically, this occurs only when the
ventilation openings are blocked, when there is faulty speaker wiring,
or after a period of extreme use. Turn off the system and wait for the
amp to cool. Then push the front panel power switch in and out to
reset the protection devices. If the problem is not corrected or reoccurs,
there is a problem with the system or the amplifier itself.
