red, indicating that the power supply is in thermal protection mode.
NOTE: UPON INITIAL POWER UP, THERE WILL BE A 9-12 SECOND DELAY
BEFORE SOUND IS HEARD DURING THE BOOT UP CYLE. THE INDICATOR
LEDS WILL ILLUMINATE RED, THEN GREEN, THEN GO OUT. THIS IS NORMAL.
NOTE: WHEN ANY OF THE LEDS ARE RED, TURN THE AMPLIFIER OFF
IMMEDIATELY. DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE
TURNING THE AMPLIFIER BACK ON.
