CTs Power Amplifiers

Operation Manual

CONDITION: No sound, even though 
the amp has power. 

Power LED is on 

without flashing and the amp is receiving an 

input signal. Signal indicator is flashing. 

 

•  Speakers not connected.
•  Open circuit due to speaker failure.

CONDITION: No input signal. 

(Signal indicator is not flashing even though 

audio is applied and channel is ready).

POSSIBLE REASON:

•  Input signal level is very low.
•  Input cables have become disconnected.

•  There is a short on the amplifier 

output. First disconnect your speakers 

from the affected channel(s) one by one 

to determine if one of the loads is 

shorted.

6 Troubleshooting 

CONDITION: Thermal indicator is 
flashing.

POSSIBLE REASON:

•  The amplifier has become too hot for 

safe operation. Check for loads less than 

2 ohms, and for excessive input levels. 

Check for proper ventilation and proper 

mode-switch setting. Driving low-

impedance loads while in high-voltage 

mode can cause overheating.

CONDITION: All channel thermal 
indicators are flashing.

POSSIBLE REASON:

•  Power supply thermal overload.

•  DC or excessive low-frequency signal at 

the amplifier’s output has enabled 

speaker protection.

CONDITION: Bridge LED is flashing

.

POSSIBLE REASON

:

•  The mode switch was switched while the 

power was on.
