Service information Before returning your amplifier for service, please check the following: Sound cuts out for no reason If the temperature of the internal heatsink rises above a safe level, then a thermal cutout inside the amplifier will operate. The power indicator on the front panel flashes and the protection system temporarily removes the power to the speakers. The system resets itself as the heatsink cools down. With two pairs of low impedance speakers connected, overloads are more likely.
