Any suggestions please

A friend of mine has a Roksan Kandy mk3 amp and cd player. He was listening to it this morning at low volume and the amp went into stand by mode by itself. Any suggestions what the problem can be or is it a safety feature of the Kandy to prevent overheating

it's a saftey feature...grabbed this from the user guide.
In normal operation when an external fault such as a short circuit on the loudspeaker leads is detected, the
amplifier will go into standby and the speaker output and AC power relays will disconnect and the MODE
indicator light will glow GREEN. Unless the fault is rectified the amplifier can not be brought out of standby.
If the amplifier output current exceeds its safe operating range (very low loudspeaker impedance and high
volume level) the Kandy integrated will revert to Standby. If subsequently the volume is lowered or the
loudspeakers changed, the amplifier can be brought out of standby to resume normal operation.

thanks for that blainetoner, he said the sound went down to one channel and then the amp cut out
