e amp will not operate unless th e
STANDBY switch is in the ON position.

IF YOUR AMPLIFIER WILL NOT TURN ON
Check the power to the unit. Check for
tripped household circui t breakers, unplugged
extension cords or power-strip sw itches that may be turned off. Check the f use(s); a spare
2A Slo-Blo fuse is supplied with the amp. If a dark brownish color or no wire can be seen
within the glass fuse, then replace the fuse with the same rating as originally installed. Over
fusing the am plifier with a fuse of a highe
r current rating, or shorting the fuse with
aluminum foil etc. could be disastrous and will void your warranty. The unit m
ay be
perfectly fine but occasionally the fuse may blow because of high AC voltage surges. After
the fuse has been replaced with the proper va lue and, if the fuse fa ils again, the amplifier
will require service. Also, check your input and speaker output cables.
