      If the POWER/PROTECTION indicator on your NAD Amplifier turns red during operation: * Turn the amplifier off immediately. * Check that the ventilation slots on the top and bottom are not blocked, as the amplifier may have overheated. Allow it to cool down before turning it back on. * Also, ensure that the overall impedance of your loudspeakers isn’t below 4 ohms. * Inspect the loudspeaker cables for short circuits.
