JVC RX-6018V Receiver Questions & Answers
Reciever won't stay on
Do you have too much of a load on the amplifier? Or as SallieJohns mentioned, is it getting adequate ventilation?
How can I hook up my jvc rx-6018v to a gemini xga-2000 amplifier?
you can do it a couple of different ways, depending on what you're trying to do with your set-up.if you're trying to do something different than what I describe here, add a comment. for independent volume control (each unit contols volume to a set of speakers independent of each other) use the rca 'tape' out of the jvc into the rca inputs on the back of the gemini.this puts a stereo signal from the jvc to the gemini. if you want your gemini to power your subs, get an rca y-splitter (single female to double male) and a single rca cable, hook single rca cable to sub out of jvc, connect y-splitter to gemini rca inputs, and single rca to y-splitter.
When the reciever is powered
Generally speaking, an amp attempts to protect itself from heat, shorts, overloads and operator exuberance by refusing to turn on or stay on.
Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output or marginally low impedance loading by the speakers; and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.
You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.
If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.
If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'naked'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced and competent hands-on tech.
My subwoofer is working but
you need to perform this ...one end of the jack is on the input of your unit and the opposite end try to touch if there is hum ..set a maximum volume..to hear it better...if there is sound your unit is good..if without,your input is deffective..make sure that our jack is good.
Subwoofer problem
If you get your system up and running and hear an audible buzz or hum, the first culprit to look at is either the powered
subwoofer or your reciever feed at the entry point to your system.
Overload
No, one of your speakers is damaged (could be an amp channel went bad, but speaker is more likely). Unplug all spkrs, then plug one in and see if it acts normal when turned up. Repeat this until all speakers are hooked up or the culprit spkr is found.
