*In case the transformer is overheated, it may take a long time before the amplifier has cooled 

down sufficiently. In such cases, you may have overloaded the amplifier too much. Power off the 

amplifier immediately, correct the error and wait until the amplifier has cooled down.

Led status messages

Under normal circumstances, this amplifier will not overheat. If any of the above 

mentioned overheating situations occur, please check the load impedance, the 

ventilation and last but not least, input levels. The intelligent APC circuitry will 

reduce input gain and level to a safe margin within certain limits. This circuitry can 

not correct an input signal that is already clipped and distorted.
