Standby light is flashing when I turn it on it starts up and shuts down again I have unplugged it for 1hr unplugged all speaker wires and cables turned it back on and still does the same thing
The thermal cycling of these receivers can result in a failure of the solder joints around the components that get hot. The large capacitors if failing usually show signs of bulging or electrolyte leaking.
When the unit boots up out of standby the unit does a self check to confirm all power supplies are within determined limits. components such as resistors operate near failure limits. These parts are designed to fail similar to a fuse if the circuit is over loaded/heated.
Common problem is the required ventilation is restricted by covering the top etc preventing required air flow, overheats and a safety resistor fails.
Replace resistor with same type to retain saftey features.
Look for a burnt resistor. They are usually raised off of the PC board.
Hope this helps?
Testimonial: "thank you I will pull it apart and check it out I will let you no"
To do the reset you need to turn the receiver on, then on the front panel of the receiver press and hold the "VCR/DVR" button while doing that press the "STANDBY/ON" button. You will see the word "Clear" in the display screen and the receiver will go into standby mode. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR AUDIO & VIDEO ASSIGNMENTS ON THE RECEIVER PLUS YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR SPEAKER CONFIGURATIONS, SPEAKER DISTANCE AND ALL LEVEL CALIBRATION SETTINGS. YOU WILL ALSO LOSE ANY PROGRAMMED RADIO STATIONS IN MEMORY. Once the receiver goes into standby mode turn it back on and go thru the setup menu for all custom settings, Thanks, JT
