What to do if the 'Protect' LED remains red on my Zeck Audio Amplifier?
- C
  Christopher WalkerJul 31, 2025
  If the 'Protect' LED on your Zeck Audio Amplifier stays red after you turn it on, it indicates that the output protection relay has been activated. Check the speaker cables for any short circuits or incorrect wiring. Ensure that the MODE selector switch is set correctly. Also, verify the amplifier's temperature and air supply, and inspect the speakers and crossover networks for short circuits. If the issue persists, the output stage may require professional service.

Why does the NLR control remain lit for a prolonged time on my Zeck Audio Amplifier?
- A
  Antonio FerrellAug 9, 2025
  If the NLR control on your Zeck Audio Amplifier stays lit for a long time, it means the amplifier is constantly limiting output power to prevent distortion. To resolve this, check the input level and ensure the output load is not less than 2 ohms. Also, inspect the speakers and crossovers. If problems continue, the output stage may require qualified service.

  If the TCL control on your Zeck Audio Amplifier remains lit for a prolonged time, it indicates that the amplifier is constantly limiting output power to prevent overheating. Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the back panel for air intake. If the issue persists, the heatsinks may be dirty or the cooling fans may need service by a qualified technician.
