Troubleshooting

Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of poor or wrong 
connections, or improper control settings. If you encounter problems, 
isolate the area of the difficulty, check the control settings, determine 
the cause of the fault and make the necessary changes. If you are 
unable to get sound from the RB-1592, refer to the suggestions for the 
following conditions:

Power Indicator Is Not Lit

No main power to the RB-1592. Check AC power connections at the 
amplifier and the AC outlet. Check the front panel power switch. Make 
sure that it is set to the ON position. 

No Sound

If the amp is getting AC power, but is producing no sound, check 
the PROTECTION INDICATOR on the front panel. If lit, see below. If 
not, check all of your connections and control settings on associated 
components.

Protection Indicator Is Lit 

The front panel PROTECTION INDICATOR lights when the RB-1592 
protection circuits have shut off the amplifier. Typically, this occurs 
only when the ventilation openings are blocked, when there is faulty 
speaker wiring, or after a period of extreme use. Turn off the system 
and wait for the amp to cool. Then push the front panel power 
switch in and out to reset the protection devices. If the problem is 
not corrected or reoccurs, there is a problem with the system or the 
amplifier itself.
