AVR problems

Real buyer questions on avr problems, answered in plain terms.

My receiver shuts itself off when I turn the volume up (or randomly mid-movie). Why?

It is protecting itself, and the trigger is one of three things: heat, load, or supply. The pattern of when it happens tells you which.

AVR problems
My AV receiver went into 'protection mode' (or just blinks its standby light and won't turn on). What now?

Protection mode means the AVR caught a short, or thinks it did, and locked itself to survive. The circuit is doing its job. Your job is to find the short instead of fighting it.

AVR problems
The auto-calibration says my subwoofer isn't detected (or the sub went silent after calibration). What's wrong?

Settings, not hardware, nine times out of ten. Do not carry the sub anywhere yet.
