Cary Rocket 88's Cat Eyes

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me about those cat eyes on the front panel. I'm wondering why I have to crank the volume all the way and can still barely hear it. Everything is plugged properly and still no volume. The manual says:
GREEN (CAT)EYES: INDICATE AUDIO POWER OUTPUT,FULLY CLOSED EYE FOR MAXIMUM POWER.
It's brand new.Do I have to wait for power to increase? First time I've seen this.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks

Both bias lights light up red. No mute button on amp. Will re-check bias..

Thanks for the replies. There is no sound from the speakers.I tried XLR as well as RCA..still nothing. I switched out the speaker wire..still nothing. I re-read the manual..still nothing. My Preamp(ARC LS17) was working perfectly with my other tube amp. I don't now, it should work. All the right toggles were switched,i.e speaker nominance,etc. No sound except when the volume is almost maxed out which is not right. Speakers are very easy to drive.
Any suggestions..

The LED's are red.The manual does'nt say which colour they shold be though as long as they're lit.
