just found a better fault finder and it does look like its an overload fault ...
this is for a CYRUS POWER and will not be true for any other component.
The Cyrus Power has a powerful protection system and unique fault indication system. This is designed to prevent damage to your Cyrus Power or the connected hi-fi system while helping you and the service personnel to diagnose the possible cause of a problem. It is essential that the
amplifier be reset via the mains switch on the rear panel, should any fault indication persist on the front panel.
The Standby light flashing GREEN
This indicates:
? That a PSX-R power supply has been connected to a Cyrus Power which has not been correctly prepared for PSX-R use. In this case, remove the PSX-R connection and re-test the Cyrus Power. If the Cyrus Power now functions correctly, return the amplifier to a Mission distributor for PSX-R adjustment.
? A fault reported from the PSX-R. In this case, switch off the power to both the Cyrus Power and the PSX-R and switch on again. If the problem does not clear, return both units to your Mission distributor for checking.
? That the Cyrus Power has been set to Mbloc mode but has not been modified for use with a PSX-R. In this case set the Cyrus Power to Stereo or arrange for PSX-R conversion in a dual Mbloc installation.
? That the PSX-R has been disconnected or switched off. In this case check for power to the PSX-R and check the PSX-R connection to the Cyrus Power.
The Standby light flashing GREEN/YELLOW
? This indicates an overload condition in at least one channel. If the problem is of a temporary nature (for example excessive volume setting), normal operation will resume after ten seconds. If the fault indication
persists, there may be a problem with the loudspeakers or their connections. In this case, switch off the power at the rear of the Cyrus Power and disconnect the speaker cables from the rear panel. If the fault indication has now cleared when power is re-applied, check the loudspeakers, cables and plugs carefully for loose strands of wire which
may be causing a short circuit.
The Standby light flashing YELLOW/RED
? This indicates that the Cyrus Power has over heated.
In this case check the ventilation around the Cyrus Power and allow the unit to cool down before reapplying power.
The Standby light flashing YELLOW
? This indicates that there is a DC voltage at the output of the Cyrus Power. In this case disconnect all inputs and outputs and switch on again. If the problem does not clear, return the Cyrus Power to your Mission
distributor for checking.
The Standby light flashing RED/GREEN
? This indicates that the RCA/XLR switch has been changed whilst the amplifier is operating. Return the switch to it's original position or if the other input is required set the Cyrus Power to Standby before operating the switch.
The MBLOC light flashing RED
? This indicates that the STEREO/MBLOC switch has been changed whilst the amplifier is operating. Return the switch to it's original position.
The MUTE light glowing red
? This is a normal condition for six seconds after the Standby light changes to green or should any of the above faults be detected. MUTE indication at any other time indicates a possible fault condition. In this case, return the Cyrus Power to your Mission distributor for checking.
