If the lamp lights, then current flow is occurring and the system should operate. It's a cheap way of limiting the current to power up a device. Kinda like a variable power AC transformer. A KX-TD1232 single cabinet draws 140W of power, just a little more than a 100W light bulb. The current draw between the devices causes the lamp to glow dimmly, thereby showing current flow and limiting the flow to the device in question. Limiting the current can help predict if a power supply, or other component was damaged, and possibly prevent something smoking. multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html _________________________________________________________________ KX-T Mailing list --- http://kxthelp.com/ Subscription changes: http://kxthelp.com/mailman/listinfo/kxt
