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.

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...
 I would take the top off and swap the two tubes.

This would be a good easy first starting point.

And for you info it's ok here because it's solid state output, but never run a tube poweramp without speakers connected, there's a possibility of oscillation which could take out the output transformer/s

Thanks again for your valuable responses.  The amp. goes to MUTE MODE even when the volume level is kept on ZERO. The CD Player was not turned on and I only switch on the amplifier.
@gnanasekhar are you reading these responses?  The volume is irrelevant.  Swap the tubes!  Jeez!!!
