Either tightly twist or terminate the core Note on speake pedance When using speakers with an impedance below the designated value (for example 4 ohms), playing for long periods of time with the volume high could cause the temperature to rise, activating the protection circuit. When the protection circuit is activated, the output to the speakers is cut off and the power indicator blinks. If this happens, unplug the power cord, wait for the set to cool off and improve ventilation around the unit. Also check the wiring of the input cables and the speaker cables. After doing this, plug the power cord back in and turn the units power back on If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the ventilation around the unit, switch off the power and contact à DENON PROFESSIONAL service center.
