Basic Troubleshooting
A
summary of fault conditions, their causes and remedies, are listed below.
The Model 8T/Ti Amplifier can produce high power levels which, without well designed protection circuitry, could damage loudspeakers. Therefore, most fault
conditions which may occur during use will be indicated by the Model 8T/Ti reverting to a standby condition.
