I just received my new Harmon Karmon AVR 430 receiver, along with (5) Polk speakers from the LSI line.
It was quite expensive for all this, at least to me it was.
I set it up this weekend and was looking ofrward to enjoying my first movie on it. Everything was working great, until...
I turned up the volume. Then the receiver shuts itself down. We are not talking very loud either. Setting it at a volume that we can mostly hear but occasionally miss some of the dialoge it will remain functional. The higher you turn the volume up from there it increases the likelyhood of a shut down.
An example is if I turn it up a few notches more we may get to watch the TV for 10 minutes or more before it shuts down. A few more notches up and it will typically last 5- 10 minutes. Any further and it will shut down immediately or within just a couple minutes.
Any ideas? Something stupid and to do with my setting it up I hope. I would hate to have to repackage this and send it back!
re-check all you speaker connections and wire. It seems like the amp is going into protection which is most likely a connection problem, because that combo should work fine. Other than that you may want to try left right connections first fire it up and see then add center and try again see if it may be a channel problem or even a speaker prob. Luv those speakers though.
