Protection circuit
This amplifier includes a built-in protection circuit that is acti-
vated to protect the speakers from noise damage when the am-
- plifier’s power is turned on.
The protection circuit also functions during playback to protect
the speakers from overloads, and to protect the circuit from
damage. When speakers with less than the rated impedance
are used, the protection circuit will short-circuit the ® and ©
speaker cords.
When the protection circuit is engaged, the output signal will be
cut automatically.
