PROTECT MODE

If the POWER INDICATOR turns red, this indicates that the protection 
circuitry of the M23 had been engaged. Immediately press the Standby 
button, turn off Power switch and then unplug the power cord from the 
mains power source. Undertake the following

Check if all speaker wires are connected correctly and that none of the 
wires are damaged, causing a short circuit.  

Another cause may be excessive heat build-up inside the amplifier. 
Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the amplifier and 
that none of its ventilation slots, top or bottom are blocked. After the 
amplifier has cooled down, it will function normally again. 

Do not attempt to use M23 if the Power indicator remained illuminated 
in red despite the checks mentioned above. Bring the M23 to an 
authorized NAD service center for proper inspection, testing and 
consequent repair if necessary.
