I own an Rotel RMB1095 amplifier that I purchased new on 9/14/2003.
On several occasions, approximately 6, the amplifier has gone into "protect" mode and all 5 LED's light up on the front panel. This usually occurs when the amplifier is powered on, but idle. When I notice this, I turn off the amplifier immediately. Then when I turn it back on, it seems to work fine. I am afraid that on a few instances the amp was in protect mode for several hours until I noticed and turned it off.
The amplifier is very well ventilated in a StudioTech Ultra cabinet. The front door panel is vented, as well as the side panel. The back of the cabinet is open.
The amplifier is powering the following speakers:
Front L&R Mains:
Phase Technology PC 9.1
Impedance 4 ohms
Center Speaker:
Phase Technology PC-3.1 II
Impedance 6 ohms
Rear L&R Speakers:
Phase Technology PC Surrounds DST
Impedance 8 ohms
Interconnect Cables
Brown Electronic Labs – BEL P1 The Wire
Straight Wire Rhapsody II
Speaker Cables
Straight Wire – Octave – bi-wired with spade termination - Mains
Tara Labs – RSC Prime 500 – bi-wired with spade termination - Surrounds
Tara Labs – Vampire 14-4CI – spade termination - Center
I never abuse the equipment and do not push the amplifier by any means. I use the RSP-1066 for processing and when listening to music have the volume level around 35. For movies and television around 50. I am now afraid to leave the amplifier on when I am not in the room because of these random occurrences.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, what was the cause and the steps to correct. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Matt
