In Case of
Trouble
The Ayre V-5xe provides comprehensive protection
for both the amplifier and your loudspeakers,
including faults that may occur in your source
components.
Overheating
Sensors located on each audio
module will shut the amplifier
off if the heatsink temperature
reaches 175° F (80° C).
If the unit is operated at high playback levels with
insufficient ventilation, the internal temperature
may become too high, triggering the thermal
protection circuitry. In this case, the amplifier will
shut down, the front panel status LED will display
both the red and green elements simultaneously,
and the front panel switch will be inoperative.
If overheating occurs, be sure
to correct the cause before
continuing to use the
amplifier.
Once the unit has cooled, the red LED element will
go out, leaving the unit in the green “Standby”
condition. To restore the unit to the blue “Operate”
mode, simply press the front panel button.
