  If there's no output on one or both channels, very low sound output, poor speaker imaging, or lack of bass output from your Roksan Audio Amplifier, here's what you should check: * Ensure the amplifier is not in stand-by mode (MODE light should be RED, not GREEN). Press the MODE button to switch to operational mode. * Verify all input connections are secure and correct. * Check the speaker output connections on the rear panel. * Make sure the correct input is selected and the source is working. * Deselect Tape Monitor if it's active. * Ensure the amplifier is not in 20dB MUTE position (MODE light should be RED, not AMBER). Press the MODE button and check the volume setting. * Confirm the polarity of speaker connections, especially if multi-wiring or multi-amping.
