It is important that any repairs be carried out only by 
an authorized Harman Kardon service agent to ensure
proper service and preserve the protection of your Limited
Warranty. It is a good idea to keep your sales 
slip or receipt in a safe place (along with this manual) so
that it will be available to verify the purchase date for
warranty claims.

Under some conditions, such as a shorted speaker wire,
DC voltage on an input connection or thermal overload,
the amplifier will place itself in a Protect mode to prevent
damage to the amplifier. When this happens, the LED
Power Indicator will flash and alternate between red 
and amber.

When this occurs, IMMEDIATELY turn off the unit using
the Power Switch and correct the problem. Then turn the
unit back on. If the unit continues to go into a Protect
mode, contact your dealer or installer for assistance.

The items listed below are a brief guide to minor problems that may arise with audio equipment such as the 1.5. Before
