The 2 giant orange LEDs, called Eyes (2) for obvious
reasons, are fully featured function indicators.
Five different illumination states, for each individual
channel, are described hereunder:
1) Eyes shut (light off). This is of course the
status when the darTZeel NHB-108 model one
is either powered off or not plugged in. If one
Eye only is shut, it means that there is a power
fault or a blown fuse in the channel in question.
In the latter case, please go to chapter
7.1."Fuse(s) replacement".
2) Idle state. 45 to 55 seconds after powering ON,
and with no input signal, the Eyes go into this
barely illuminated state.
3) Signal presence. When an input signal, corresponding
to over 10 mW at 8Ω is detected, the
Eyes illuminate fully. You are in "musical
cruise mode". When the input signal disappears
for more than 45 to 55 seconds, the Eyes go
back to idle state. While listening at very low
levels, Eyes could toggle between states 2 and
3; this is normal behaviour.
4) Clipping. When approaching maximum output
power, the corresponding Eye flashes brightly
for about half a second, and then goes back to
the "musical cruise mode".
