into , or (51, 52, 53). If none of these ports
is in use, flipping the Standby switch will not activate the power amp. This ensures the
amp is not operated without a connected load.
In addition, an electronic surveillance system monitors the four power tubes. The
Status LED flashes to alert you to a defective power tube, blinking in different patterns
to identify the given tube. Specifically, it lights up briefly at regular intervals - once for
V1, twice for V2, thrice for V3, and four times for V4. Because the tube monitoring
system only works when the power tubes are up and running, this indicator is not
enabled until you activate the power amp by flipping the Standby switch. To reset the
power tube monitoring circuitry, press the standby switch briefly.
I suggest you get into the habit of using standby during short breaks. In this mode,
current is not piped through the power tubes, so they don't get as hot (due to the lack
of anode dissipation) and are spared considerable wear. The amp is ready to run when
you flip the Standby switch because the tubes are already warm and don't require time
to heat up. For breaks of 30 minutes and longer, I recommend that you switch the amp
off in order to conserve energy.
