A. Power Amp Section
Resistance
Check
Resistance from S+ (SPK O/P) to GND should be >1M Ω (NO LOAD)
Resistance from V+ (C6 P+) to V- (C8 P-) gradually Fully CHARGED should read >10k Ω
Resistance from V+ (C6 P+) to S+ (SPK O/P) should read >1MΩ
Resistance from V- (C8 P-) to S+ (SPK O/P) should read >1M Ω
2. Power Up LED RED
With a 5mV signal to Low level input, LED should change to GREEN

4. Check Switching Frequency
• Oscilloscope - USE THE PROBE TIP TO U6(7) TO GND
• Reading 100kHz +/-10%,22Vp-p
