    Why does my Marantz PM-11S3 Amplifier power off and flash red?
    • A
      Anthony ScottAug 16, 2025
      If your Marantz Amplifier suddenly turns off and the power indicator flashes red quickly, it could be due to using speakers with unsupported impedance or a short circuit in the speaker cables. Use speakers with the specified impedance. Unplug the power cord, twist the core wires together tightly or effect termination treatments, then reconnect.
