IF YOUR AMPLIFIER WILL NOT TURN ON
Check the power to the unit. Check for tripped household circuit breakers, unplugged
extension cords or power-strip switches that may be turned off. Check the fuse(s). If a
dark brownish color or no wire can be seen within the glass fuse, then replace the fuse
with the same rating as originally installed. Over fusing the amplifier with a fuse of a
higher current rating, or shorting the fuse with aluminum foil etc. could be disastrous and
will void your warranty. The unit may be perfectly fine but occasionally the fuse may
blow because of high AC voltage surges. After the fuse has been replaced with the
proper value and, if the fuse fails again, the amplifier will require servicing . Also, check
your input and speaker output cables.
