Fusion Flex Amplifier

Troubleshooting

If problems occur, the first step should be to verify that the Fusion Flex Amplifier is set to the 

proper line voltage for your AC power source, and that your power source is operating correctly.

Problem: No sound is heard from either channel (the Standby LED is not lit).

Reason: You have no AC power.

• 

Verify that the circuit is live and the rear panel Power switch is On.

• 

Verify that the line cord on the Fusion Flex Amp is fully inserted and is tight.

Problem: No sound is heard from either channel (the Standby LED is lit red).

Reason: The Fusion Flex Amp is in Standby mode.

• 

If the Fusion Flex Amp is in “On” power mode, press the Standby button.

• 

If the Fusion Flex Amp is in “Trigger” power mode, verify that a trigger signal is present.

• 

If the Fusion Flex Amp is in “Auto” power mode, verify that audio signal is present at an input.

• 

Send a Power On command via IR or RS-232 remote control.

Problem: No sound or distorted sound is heard from one or both channels 
(the Status LED is lit blue).

Reason: The Fusion Flex Amp is On and is not indicating a fault.

• 

Verify that the correct input is selected.

• 

Verify that the Volume is not all the way down.

• 

Check your source and your input cabling.

• 

Check your speakers and speaker connections.

Problem: No sound is heard (the Standby LED is flashing red).

Reason: The Fusion Flex Amp is indicating a fault on one or both channels.

• 

Verify that the speaker cable(s) and speaker terminals are not shorted.

• 

Verify that the speaker itself is not shorted or damaged 

(try the speaker on another channel and see if the fault “moves”).

• 

Verify that the source is not faulty  

(try that input cable on another input and see if the fault “moves”).

• 

Disconnect all inputs and outputs and reset the Fusion Flex Amp 

(turn the rear panel Power rocker switch Off and back On).

Problem: The Volume control doesn’t respond to the front panel buttons or the  
IR remote, but everything else is working correctly.

Reason: The Fusion Flex Amplifier’s Volume Lockout feature is engaged.

• 

Press and hold the front panel Input 1 button for about three seconds to disengage the 

Volume Lockout feature.
