8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

1. No Sound:
   • Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and the power indicator light is on.
   • Check all audio cable connections (RCA, speaker wires) for proper seating and correct polarity.
   • Verify that your audio source is playing and its volume is turned up.
   • Confirm that the amplifier's volume knob is not at its minimum setting.
2. Distorted Sound:
   • Reduce the volume on both the amplifier and your audio source. Excessive volume can cause distortion.
   • Check speaker wire connections for any loose strands or short circuits.
   • Ensure your speakers are compatible with the amplifier's power output (50W x 2).

   • Ensure all cables are properly shielded and away from power cables or other electronic devices that might cause interference.
   • Try connecting the amplifier to a different power outlet.
   • Disconnect the audio input cable; if the noise disappears, the issue might be with your audio source or cable.
4. Power Indicator Light Off:
   • Check the power adapter and AC cord connections.
   • Ensure the power switch is in the "On" position.
   • Try a different power outlet.
