McCormack DNA-1 Problem. Help, please

Hi All,
My clean looking DNA-1 came in yesterday. I got it from a well rated A-goner who said it was functioning perfectly when shipped. It came in very will packed with no sign of damage. When I hooked it up to my Thiel 3.5s to try it out the red protect light on the faceplate came on along with the green power light. I assumed that indicated a problem so I quickly switched it off. I have searched on line for a manual with no success. So, is it a problem? Or should I have not chickened out and let it continue to run. If it is a problem, given that I had not even turned the pre-amp on, could it be something to do with the Thiel equalizer which is on all the time?
Any thoughts (or leads on a manual) would be appreciated since I was really looking forward to hearing how it sounds and don't want to contact the seller untill I'm sure I'm not doing something wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Drjay

Can you check all the fuses in the DNA-1? When I purchased a DNA-1 from a reputable seller and when I powered it up it had a red light. A fuse was blown when they were testing it before it was shipped to me. Normally when a McCormack DNA-1 or DNA .5 is powered on the light is first Amber and then turns green.

Also I have a pdf copy of a DNA-1 manual. I'll contact you to try and work out a way to sending it to you.
