do amp lights stay on with 12v trigger?

[tagman]

Hi everyone,

I am new on the forum even though I have been following the forum for awhile. My system consists of a 1075, and a 1080 amp hooked up to my
1068 processor. I had it professionally installed. The technician hooked up the 12v trigger, but when I shut down the system the lights on the amps stay on. Is this normal?

When I checked the rotel manual it said the amps go into standby. Does this mean the amps stay on?

Please any answers would be greatly appreciated. I love this forum, and my new components. Thank you.

Hello!

it's totally normal, there is no way to know if amp is on or off.

Except when you turn it on you have the red lights that just goes on for a short time.

Yes, its normal - the amp(s) light(s) stay on. The amp is in standby, but you wouldn't know it by looking at the front panel. The only indication is perhaps a relay clunk and the protection LEDs might flash when the trigger is de-activated, ie, at standby.

thanks guys, I was thinking that maybe the led would at least change colors. Guess not.

The manual doesn't say that the light stays on,and the reason I was
a little concerned was because I read quite few threads about people having problems with the 12v trigger.

So far these components are flawless, and my wife says she hears more detail in our music, and concert dvd's.

I guess the dynaudio focus 220's helpa little also. Thanks.

My amp's front LED stays lit, but the internal leds do go off... Not sure if you can see you internal LED's, or if that particular amp has them...

My 1077 for example has 4? leds inside, sort of a yellowish green color, but the blue front LED stays on.
