Issue:

“When Sensation is on standby (with the front power button off but the rear switch on) I

notice the yellow protection light comes on when I turn the volume knob.”

Recommendation:

While this is an oddity, it is fully protected while in standby mode and the light does

not represent a danger to the amp. Feel free to turn the volume knob down if this occasional light
concerns you.

Issue:

“Aaaaeeeeeiiiiii! There’s a horrible high pitched squeal from my battery-powered

Sensation!”

Recommendation:

Follow proper shut down procedure and recharge the batteries. This can happen

when some battery sources are extremely low on power. A full recharge should fix the issue.
