Troubleshooting

No sound (continued)

Power problem.

Check the amplifier’s and 
auto sound system’s fuses 
and replace them if neces-
sary (see “Replacing a 
Fuse” on Page 18).

Distorted sound

The amplifier might be 
receiving too much input 
power from your auto sound 
system.

Reduce your auto sound 
system’s output power (if 
possible), or reduce the 
auto sound system’s vol-
ume.

The amplifier might have 
shut down.

Turn your auto sound sys-
tem off and let the amplifier 
cool. Make sure the ampli-
fier is properly ventilated. 
Then turn your auto sound 
system back on. The ampli-
fier turns itself back on when 
it is cooled. 

An output channel might 
have shorted.

Take the amplifier to your 
local RadioShack store.

The amplifier’s PROTEC-
TION indicator lights

The amplifier is not con-
nected to the auto sound 
system correctly.

Check all connections.

The amplifier might be 
receiving too much power 
from your auto sound sys-
tem.

Reduce your auto sound 
system’s output power (if 
possible), or reduce the 
auto sound system’s vol-
ume.
