WARNING: The MUSICAL FIDELITY HT600 power amp is a powerful amplifier and is designed to supply high voltages and high currents through the loudspeaker terminals. Therefore, to avoid any possibility of an electric shock, do not touch the speaker terminals when the unit is being used.

If the power cord is disconnected, re-connect it. If the mains switch is switched off, switch it on.

If one of the blue LEDs does not light, the unit has a fault. Switch off and refer back to your dealer.

This is likely because speakers are connected out of phase. Make sure that all speakers are connected correctly.
