Once paired, the indicator light will remain green, and you can play audio from your device through the amplifier.

6.3 RCA Input Usage

Connect your audio source to the RCA input ports on the rear panel.
Ensure the amplifier is powered on. The BT/RCA indicator should be red, indicating RCA input mode.

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No sound output	Power not connected or switched off. Incorrect input selected. Speaker wires loose or incorrectly connected. Volume too low. Audio source issue.	Ensure power adapter is connected and switch is ON. Verify BT/RCA indicator shows the desired input. Disconnect Bluetooth on device if using RCA. Check speaker wire connections for proper polarity and tightness. Increase volume on amplifier and audio source. Test with a different audio source.
Distorted or buzzing sound	Loose connections. Input signal too strong. Operating in cold temperatures. Faulty audio source or cable.	Check all cable connections. Reduce volume on the audio source. Ensure the amplifier is operating within a reasonable temperature range (above 40°F/4°C). Try a different audio source or cable.
Bluetooth not connecting	Amplifier not in pairing mode. Device too far from amplifier. Bluetooth already connected to another device. Interference.	Ensure amplifier is powered on and indicator is green. Move your device closer to the amplifier. Disconnect from other Bluetooth devices. Restart both the amplifier and your Bluetooth device.
Loud noise/ticking on startup	Normal power-up sequence (brief). Power supply issue. Internal component issue.	A brief noise during power-up may be normal. If persistent or excessive, check power supply. Ensure power supply is stable and correct voltage. If noise persists or is severe, contact customer support.
