AMPLIFIER SHUTS OFF

Short Circuit Protection engaged:

The amplifier will turn off and try to come back on immediately. The
amplifier will cycle like this indefinitely, with "blips" of sound each
time. If this is the case, check your speakers and wiring for low
impedance and short circuits.

Thermal Protection engaged:

The amplifier will turn off and several minutes later will come back
on. In this case, ensure that there is nothing blocking the normal
convective airflow of the amplifier. No obstruction should be within
2" of the amplifier on all sides.

NO SOUND Is the LED lit?

SOUND IN ONE CHANNEL ONLY

Reverse left and right speakers by unplugging the speaker connector, turning it
over and plugging it back in.
