protect mode
If one or more Channel Status LEDs turn red, this indicates that the
protection circuitry of the T 977 had been engaged. Immediately press the
Standby button and then unplug the mains power cord from the mains
power source. Check if all speaker wires are connected correctly and that
none of the wires are damaged, causing a short circuit. Another cause may
be excessive heat build-up inside the amplifier. Make sure there is adequate
ventilation around the amplifier and that none of its ventilation slots, top
or bottom are blocked. After the amplifier has cooled down, it will function
normally again. In case one or more of the Channel Status LEDs remained
illuminated in red despite the checks mentioned above, immediately press
the Standby button and then unplug the mains power cord from the mains
power source. Have the unit inspected by a qualified service technician
before attempting to use it again.

button or via the rear panel trigger source, the Channel Status LEDs
will light up red and then fade out.
