avoid overdriving the amplifier,
causing clipping.

Lights steady The amplifier may be overheating.

Determine the reason for the
overheated state and allow the
amplifier to cool. The LED will not
be lit after the amplifier recovers
from the overheated state.

Output channel leads are shorted

Check speakers and speaker
wiring for shorts.
