Features and Controls
Protection LED Indicator
The protection circuitry in the amp will disable it if it
senses an input overload, speaker short circuit, or
thermal overload conditions. Should this occur, the
PROTECT LED will be illuminated. At that time, it is
important thatyou checkto determinewhat hascaused
the protection circuitry to become activated.
If the amp shut off because of a thermal overload,
allow it to cool down before attempting to restart.
If the shutdownoccured because ofan input overload,
or speaker short circuit, be sure to correct these
conditions before attempting to restart the amp.
To reset the amp, turn the REMOTE power off and on
again.
