Onkyo 606 Setup help

I bought the Onkyo 606 two days ago from amazon. It shows up today, all excited to put it together. Have Black Hawk Down on Blu-Ray waiting and all.

I can't the thing to stay on for more than 2 minutes. Its not in the cabinet yet so I know that its not a heat issue. I wanted to get it up and running before i put it back in the cabinet and clean up the wires.

So, here is the issue....

I start up the speaker calibration program and it sends a signal to the left speaker, gets sound, all good. Then goes to center speaker, all good. Then it gets to the right channel and boom. the system shuts it self down and the stand by light starts flashing.

I've tried resetting the wires, making sure there wasn't a short some where and everything, but it just won't get past the front right channel... It looks clean to me.

Bad unit? Or and i doing something wrong?

Edit: Oh, I know that binding posts are supposed to be better quality, but seriously spring clips are SO much easier to work with.
 
Did you check the speaker end too?

What about switching the wires for the FR and FL to see if it's the FR channel on the receiver or the FR speaker/wire that's the problem?

Yeap, turned out to be busted. Wholesale AV is RMAing it for me.

They're ok. I bought them but ended up with locking plugs from bluejeanscable.

Reason being that the screw type I bought from monoprice(fray the strands of copper and screw down plug) didn't work well with the thickness of the strands used in my 12AWG wire. If you are using less than 12AWG or more finely stranded 12 it works fine.
