Connect the speaker cables using either banana plugs or spade connectors (preferable) to the appropriate terminals (white for ground / return and red for live).

Trouble Shooting & Maintenance Troubleshooting The front panel LED is not lit. 1. Make sure the rear panel power switch is set to ON (“I”). 2. Make sure the power cable fuse has not blown. 3. Make sure the T3.15A fuse in the rear of the amplifier has not blown. 4. If the amplifier was very hot it may have caused the thermal cut-off to activate. Turn the amplifier OFF and let it fully cool down (20 minutes or more) before turning ON again. 5. If the above does not solve the problem then contact CAAS Audio.
