      If you've connected FrontRow Recording Equipment and can't get any sound from the amp, first check the Master Volume settings by going to the command line and entering #AUD1[ ]; Volume Level value 0 - 100, where 100 is max. Also, check the PA Fault LED; it should not be lit. If it is lit and the device is not in mute mode, the PA may be damaged; see the LED Status information.
