Troubleshooting 

If you experience difficulty in operating your World 600/World 1.2, 
chances are good that you will be able to remedy the problem yourself 
using standard troubleshooting techniques and suggestions offered in the 
table on the following page. 

If you wire your own cable, it is imperative that all connections be made 
cleanly with no stray wire strands to short terminals. Keep in mind that 
other components in the system can cause problems which may appear to be 
caused by the amplifier; systematic troubleshooting will allow you to isolate 
the source difficulty. 

If you fail to correct the problem by following the steps outlined below, 

do 

not attempt 

to open or repair the unit yourself. 

Please contact Stewart 

Audio at (209) 588-8111 to obtain a Return Authorization (RA) 
Number and shipping instructions. 

Once RA Number is obtained, return 

the unit to Stewart Audio, 14407 Cuesta Court, Sonora, CA. 95370. 

Do not 

return any amplifier to Stewart without first obtaining an RA Number. 

Refer to the enclosed Warranty Information for Terms and Conditions of 
Warranty. 

NOTE: 

Upon installation of the World 600/World 1.2, there will be a 

turn-on delay of up to one minute after AC power is applied to the 
amplifier. This is a result of the initialization sequence preformed by the 
amplifier’s High-Frequency Switch Mode Power Supply. Subsequent delays 
will be minimal, as long as the World 600/World 1.2 remains connected to 
AC power.

4.

Do not place the amplifier near heat sources such as radiators, heat 
registers, stoves, or other appliances that product heat. 

5.

The amplifier should be only be connected to 120 VAC, 60 Hz 
power supply. Do not defeat the ground or polarization of the power 
plug. 

6.

Route power cord and other cables so that they are not likely to be 
walked on, tripped over or stressed. Pay particular attention to 
condition of cords and cables at plugs, and the point where they exit 
the amplifier. To prevent risk of fire or injury, damaged cords and 
cables should be replaced immediately. 

7.

Clean the amplifier with a clean damp cloth. Do not use solvents or 
abrasive cleaners. Never pour any liquid on the amplifier. 

8.

When left unused for a long period of time, the power cord should be 
unplugged form the outlet. 

9.

Damaged Amplifiers requiring service. The amplifier should be 
serviced by a qualified service technician when: 

a.

The power cord or AC plug has been damaged. 

b.

Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the unit 

c.

The amplifier has been exposed to rain or other moisture 

d.

The amplifier does not appear to operate normally or 
exhibits a marked change in performance. 

e.

The amplifier has been dropped or the enclosure 
damaged. 

10. The user should not attempt to service the amplifier beyond that 

described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should 
be referred to qualified service personnel.
