troubleshooting
Sound cuts-out unexpectedly
If the temperature of the internal heatsink rises above
a safe level, then a thermal cut-out inside the amplier
operates to protect the unit and the protection system
temporarily removes power to the speakers. e system
will reset itself as the heatsink cools down.
< With two pairs of low-impedance speakers
connected (6Ω or less), overloads are more likely.
Overloading the amplier may cause it to shut
down because of overheating.
< Note that, due to the high output voltage from some
CD players, it is possible to drive your amplier
at full power even though the volume is not set at
maximum.
If you are having trouble with your amplier, check the
following items.
No sound
Check the following:
< e amplier is switched on.
< e A39 is not muted (i.e. MUTE (mute) is not
shown on the display panel; the power LED is
showing green, not orange or red).
< e selected source going in to the A39 is
generating audio (e.g., if CD is selected, then the
CD is playing).
< e speaker outputs on the A39 are active and the
appropriate speaker LED is showing green.
