If the internal protection circuitry detects a fault in the speakers or amp, the channel(s) will enter Protect Mode and red
“PROTECT” LEDs will illuminate on the front panel to show this. Switch the amplifier off and check the entire system
(including leads) before powering up again. If still in Protect Mode, seek advice from qualified service personnel.
Before powering down, turn the channel gain controls fully down to avoid loud noises when switching off.
