In Case of
Trouble
The Ayre KX-5 will display error messages from
connected AyreLink equipped power amplifiers,
simplifiying the task of system troubleshooting.
Overheating
If a power amplifier is operated at high playback
levels with insufficient ventilation, the internal
temperature may become too high, triggering the
thermal protection circuitry.
The input selector characters will change to read
“
HOT
” if an AyreLink equipped power amp is
connected and its temperature becomes too high.
If overheating occurs, be sure
to correct the cause before
continuing to use the
amplifier.
Once the unit has cooled, the amplifier may return
to normal mode, but the “
HOT
” message will
remain visible on the KX-5 so that the source of the
error is known. To restore the preamplfier to the
normal operation mode, simply press the right-hand
front-panel button.
