3. ERROR MESSAGES
Indication Meaning
1 ERROR 02 Multiple ampliers take ID No. 2.
2 ERROR 03 Multiple ampliers take ID No. 3.
3 ERROR 04 Multiple ampliers take ID No. 4.
Assign different ID numbers to the ampliers.
4 ERROR 11 The amplifiers with ID Nos. 2-4
cannot communicate with the
amplier with ID No. 1.
If the amplier with ID No. 1 is not on, turn it ON.
Check that the remote cable is properly connected.
5 ERROR 12 The amplifier with ID No. 1 cannot
communicate with the ampliers with
ID
Nos. 2-4.
If multiple amplifiers take ID No. 1, set ID numbers
properly.
If the amplifier with ID No. 1 is connected to the
amplier with ID No. 0, set ID numbers properly.
Check that the remote cable is properly connected.
4. PROTECTION MODE
Explanation of microprocessor (U1001) [PROT_1 (pin1) and PROT_2 (pin2)].
[A] The PROT_1(pin1) is the port to detect the following abnormalities of the Power AMP
1. Detection of an abnormality in the DC offset voltage from the Speaker Output terminal.
If the voltage from the Speaker Output terminal exceeds approximately 1.2V (DC), Q9005 or Q9006 will turn on and the
signal from the PROT_1 terminal will change to L from H.
2. Detection of an abnormal current from the power transistors (Q6036, Q6037, Q7036, Q7037).
If an electric current of over 10A flows in Q6036 or Q6037, Q6038, Q6039 and Q9008 turn on, and the signal from the
PROT_1 terminal will change to L from H.
If an electric current of over 10A flows in Q7036 or Q7037, Q7038, Q7039 and Q9008 turn on, and the signal from the
PROT_1 terminal will change to L from H.
3. Detection of an abnormal temperature of the Heat Sink.
If the temperature of the Heat Sink exceeds approximately +110 degrees C, the posistor (R6501 and R7501) will turn on
Q9007 and the signal from the PROT_1 terminal will change to L from H.
If any of the above three abnormalities is detected, the signal from the PROT_1 terminal will change to L from H, and the
protection circuit will be activated, the signal from the SPK (pin4) changing to L from H and the speaker relays S9001 ~
S9005 immediately turned off.
What this protection operation results in after this depends on how long the signal from the PROT_1 has to remain L.
• If the PROT_1 (pin1) recovers to “H” within as short a period of time as one second or less.
The message “PROTECT” flashes on the display, thereby indicates that the protection circuit has come into operation
and automatically turns down the volume. The protection circuit is deactivated after approximately 8 seconds, so that
readjusting the volume will allow normal use of the unit again. This protection operation is intended for the situation
wherein the user has misused the unit temporarily and automatically resets the unit while the amp circuit is functioning
properly.
• If the PROT_1 (pin1) remains L for more than one second.
The amp will be powered off by the POW-2 (pin24) changing to L from H and Power relay S8502 turned off
Then, the STANDBY indicator flickers, thereby indicating that an error has occurred. This protection operation is intended
for a failure in the amp circuit and immediately turns the power off to avoid the risk of any damage. Depending on how
the user is handling the unit, this operation may be performed no matter if the amp is functioning properly.
To check if the amp is in order, switch off the unit and switch it on again one minute later. This action will deactivate
the protection operation. If the PROT_1 (pin1) remains “L”, which constitutes an abnormality, the unit shuts down
approximately 3 seconds later and the STANDBY indicator starts flickering.
If the protection operation will not be deactivated after the power is turned on again, the amp circuit may be broken.
