Questions and answers
I just bought a Monster 3600 MKII….with all of my equipment off, the voltage red led and the indicator lights are mostly lit. I’ve tried the button on the far right that’s supposedly power and it seems to affect one small indicator light. Pardon my ignorance but do the other lights eventually turn off?
