Protection LED is either amber representing the standby state, or green
representing the on-state.
2 power/Standby/protection led : Upon switching the power on,
the LED will light up red for a few seconds before the protection
circuit is deactivated. The LED will then turn green, representing
normal operation. In cases of serious abuse of the amplifier, such as
overheating, excessively low loudspeaker impedance, short circuit
etc. the amplifier will engage its Protection circuitry, indicated by the
LED turning from green to red, and the sound being muted. In such
a case, turn the amplifier off by the rear panel POWER switch, wait for
it to cool down and/or check the speaker connections, making sure
the overall loudspeaker impedance doesn't go below 4 ohms. Once
the cause for the protection circuitry to engage has been removed,
switch ON the rear POWER button and then the Standby Button to
resume normal operation.
