      Joseph BrownAug 2, 2025
      If the Standby LED turns red during operation, it indicates that your NAD C 316BEE amplifier has overheated. Turn the amplifier OFF and ensure that the ventilation slots on the top and bottom are not blocked, allowing proper airflow. After the unit has cooled down, turn it back ON. Also, ensure the overall loudspeaker impedance is not below 4 ohms.
