Make sure you took the amp off of standby, and that you set your meter in the correct range. The proper way to set the range of your meter is by selecting the highest range first, then lowering the ranges one by one until you can clearly see a reading. If you set your range too low, or too high, you won’t get any reading at all. Some of the more expensive models have “auto-ranging,” which is a very nice feature.
