Remedy

 

No power or front 
panel lights and no 
sound. 

The power cable is not inserted 100% 
into AC input connector. 

Ensure that the AC cord(s) are fully in-
serted into the amplifier and that the wall 
outlet is active. 

 

Circuit breaker is open (AC outlet). 

Check the AC outlet circuit breaker and 
reset, if necessary, or contact your deal-
er. 

No audio output. 

Overheating, DC at output, Cata-
strophic failure 

The amplifier will turn off with the rear 
panel switch indicating O.  For any  but a 
catastrophic failure, the amplifier can be 
reset by removing the fault and complet-
ing the turn-on sequence again.  

Warm 

Normal operation 

 

Hot
