Front Panel

1) AC Mains Switch

The VHD5100 Amplifier has a combination AC Main switch/circuit breaker on the front panel. If the switch shuts off during 
normal use, push it back to the ON position once. If it will not stay on you should take the unit to qualified service personnel 
to have it serviced.

2) Speaker Protection

Yellow LED, indicates that the audio limiter has been activated. This RMS limiter protects speakers against overload. 

3) Signal Present

Green LED indicates when audio signal is present at the amplifier input.

4) Power On / Thermal (Auto reset)

Green LED indicates that the AC power is on. When red, it indicates that the thermal limit of the VHD5100 Amplifier has been 
exceeded and the unit has shut down.
