Parasound JC-1 - Standby during playback?

Recently I installed a 20A DB for my dedicated room with 2 outlets - One outlet goes into a Shunyata Cylcop serving the Parasound JC-1 and the other into another Cyclop for the front electonics.

I noticed that there are occasions when BOTH the Parasound amps will go into standby mode (RED light) for about 1-2 secs before powering on again (BLUE light). During this time, the front end electronics are still functioning.

Since both amps are experiencing the same thing, then it means that this may have something to do with the electricity? Else a problem with the preamp? Again, I must say this does not happen very often but a nice solution will be great indeed!

Thanks for the advice.

Are you sure they are not in the "Audio Signal" mode where they turn on, and off, based on audio input?
Make sure the switch on the rear left panel is in "manual"

I would, simply as a troubleshooting action, place the JC-1s in Manual, just long enough to verify that they are/are not being erroneously triggered off by the preamp.

Of course during the testing, be sure to manually turn the amps on and off in the proper order as to avoid a possible big THUMP into your speakers.

Good Luck!
