After switching off the pre-amplifier the amp does not automatically switch to STAND BY (after 
approx. 5-10 min.) although the "auto" mode is selected. 
 

  Check whether a low humming or chirping noise is heard from the loudspeakers after switching off 

the  pre-amplifier.  If  this  is  so  then  scattering  emissions  within  the  cable  are  interfering  with  the 
automatic switch-on circuitry. This is interpreting the interference as a music signal and reacts by 
not  switching  off  the  amp.  Remedy:  Place  your  cable  so  that  no  further  interference  is 
experienced. With balanced XLR cables this fault can also arise from an error in the pin setting. 

 
 

Humming during music reproduction 
 

  This is mostly caused by a ground loop through the aerial amplifier or postal cabling. Check if the 

humming stops following removal of the aerial cable from the tuner (and, if connected, the TV set 
and video recorder). If this is successful then fit a sheath current filter to the aerial cables of these 
receivers. (Your dealer will supply).  

 

  The shield of the AF-cable is interrupted, the cinch connector has poor ground contact (carefully 

bend). The use of a symmetrical cable with wrong setting. 

 
 

The display shows "OVERHEAT" and the unit switches off 

 

  Switch mains off and let the OVATION SA8.2 cool down for 15 minutes. Make sure that the unit is 

placed according to the tips in chapter  2.1 Placement of the unit / cooling.   
 

  Make sure that there is no short circuit in the loudspeaker cables.   

 

  Check if one of your loudspeakers is defective. 

 
 

The display shows "OVERLOAD" and the unit switches off 

 

  Switch mains off, fix failure and switch on again. 

 

 

  Make sure that there is no short circuit in the loudspeaker cables.   

 

  Check if one of your loudspeakers is defective. 

 
 

The display shows "INTERNAL FAILURE or DC on input" and the unit switches off 

 

  Check if your preamplifier outputs excessive DC Voltage. (Some tube amps do so for a short time 

after switching on).   
 

  The OVATION SA8.2 has been overdriven by excessive listening levels and switches off to protect 

itself and the loudspeakers. Switch mains off and after one minute on again. Reduce the listening 
level.
