About the protector
indicator
The amplier has a built-in protection circuit to
protect the transistors and speakers when:
The unit is overheated. Or•
A DC current is generated. Or•
The battery voltage is over low or•
over high. Or
The speaker terminals are short•
circuited.
When the PROTECT indicator
lights up in red, the unit shuts down
automatically. If this happens, please:
1Take out the disc or tape and turn off the
car audio.
2Check the cause of the malfunction (see
