Protection circuit
This amplifier includes a built-in protection circuit that is acti-
vated to protect the speakers from noise damage when the
amplifiers power is turned on.
The protection circuit also functions during playback to pro-
tect the speakers from overloads, and to protect the circuit
from damage. When speakers with less than the rated imped-
ance 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.

UME control.
