Protection Circuit
CLIP indicator lights.
There is a short at a speaker ter-
minal, amplifier terminal, or wire.
Locate and correct the cause of
the short.
The PC limiter circuit
operates to protect the
power transistors.
The amplifier load is excessive.
Use a speaker system with an
impedance of at least 4
Ω
(STE-
REO/PARALLEL mode) or 8
Ω
(BRIDGE mode).
TEMP indicator lights.
The heat sink temperature has
exceeded 85°C (185°F).
Check the ventilation slots, and
provide better airflow around the
amplifier.
The TEMP indicator
lights up to indicate tem-
perature warning.
PROTECTION indica-
tor lights.
The heat sink temperature has
exceeded 90°C (194°F).
Check the amplifier ventilation
conditions and take appropriate
measures to improve the airflow
around the amplifier.
The thermal protection
circuit operates to protect
the power transistors.
