Problem with BAT VK 3000SE

Dear All,
               I am from India and I am having a Balanced Audio VK3000SE Integrated amplifier.  The amp. goes automatically to MUTE mode after playing for about 30 minutes.  While the sound is completely muted off, the display shows  "FAULT RIGHT".  I am helpless and it is very difficult to get it repaired I will ve very thankful to you if you are helpful to me in fixing this problem.  Thanks a lot.

Mute or standby?
Hope it’s not inside a cabinet?
If not, check the temp both sides of the top vents with your hands once it’s turned itself off and gone into mute, is one side hotter than the other?

Cheers George

Thanks for your kind response, George.  I could not feel any difference in temperature.  Since the displays shows "FAULT RIGHT", I removed the right speaker cable and played the and but, still, the amp goes to mute mode automatically.

Also, always unplug from the wall when swapping tubes. Another thing you can do is perform a "reset to factory settings" procedure which can be found in your user's manual. Lastly, check the connections at your speaker binding posts and make sure one connector isn't touching the other. If all else fails, call the factory in U.S. and ask them what this error message means. Good luck...
