Troubleshooting

10

• Power Switch OFF
• Breaker (Power Switch) tripped

Turn off, then turn back on

Power Sequencing Switch set wrong

- Check Sequential Turn-On section for proper configuration

PROBLEM

CONDITION

CAUSE

Rear Power Status LED
is amber.

SEQUENCING

NOT

FUNCTIONING

CORRECTLY

Master amplifier ON (Rear
Power Status is green),
slave amplifiers in chain not
powering ON (Rear Power
Status is OFF).

• No AC power to amplifier

UNIT APPEARS

DEAD

(NO FRONT

STATUS LED)

Rear Power Status LED is off.

• Amplifier not plugged in
• AC outlet dead

Master amplifier ON (Rear
Power Status is green),
slave amplifiers in chain not
powering ON (Rear Power
Status is amber).

• Power Switch is OFF on slave amp
• Breaker (Power Switch) tripped

Turn off, then turn back on

Rear Power Sequencing Switch is not ON

• Error in Sequencing wiring between amplifiers

• Poor/broken speaker wiring
• Defective speakers

• Poor electrical connections at input
• Input cable routed near AC cables, power transformer, or 

other EMI radiating devices

• Electrically noisy devices operating on the same AC circuit
• Poor equipment grounding

Ensure that all AC safety grounds are connected

- Make sure that all components in audio chain are tied to the
same ground

NO SOUND

OPERATION

Status LED is green.
Signal LED is off.

• Level Controls turned down
• No signal from source
• CH B Input Select not set or wired properly

Status LED is green.
Signal LED is green.
Limit LED is off.

Status LED is green.
Signal LED is green.
Limit LED is off.

• Input signal level too high
• Poor speaker connections
• Low Cut Switch set to Flat
• Input Sensitivity Switch not set correctly

Status LED is green.
Signal LED is green.
Limit LED is amber (on or 
flashing).

• Speaker transformers saturating at low frequencies, Low Cut

filter off, need additional Hi-Pass filtering

• Below minimum load rating on output
• Exceeding maximum power output rating

Status LED is red/green cycling.

• DC level at signal input
• Load impedance too low
• Amplifier speaker output is short-circuited
• Amplifier too hot (check for proper ventilation clearances)

Status LED is green.
Signal LED is green.
