receiver keeps shutting off

[Durvelle27]

i can't set the speaker size because i don't have the remote but i don't think it is set to small and at -20 there's no problems just at -5 and no meter i just see the receiver says -5dB

err, you need to set them to small...see if there is a way to do so from front panel. what do you mean you don't have the remote?

 

[Durvelle27]

get a harmony then. or one of those cheap universal remotes might work with your receiver.

there has to be a way to set speaker size. Check manual.

ok tried that and it still happens also saw crossover set to 80Hz is that important ?

you have all the speakers set to small and it is still going into protect? What is the volume you are listening at?

did you set the impedance? I saw it in the pdf, basic setup section

Do you have a sub?

 

[Durvelle27]

yes i have a sub and -5db

 

[sdifox]

yes i have a sub and -5db

if everything is setup properly, -5db would be damn loud.

In my system I have to cover my ears at -5db.

 

[Durvelle27]

it is loud but shuts off after a loud movie scene ? is there any thing i could change

lower the volume :biggrin: In essence you are exceeding the receiver's output capacity. I am assuming your speakers are set to small and correct impedance. also, what gauge is the wire and how long?

I don't remember what you ended up doing with the wires.

 

[Durvelle27]

i have this speaker wire
