Sherwood RD-6506 - AV receiver - 5.1 channel - RD-6506 no output sound

SOURCE: How do I reset the defaults on my Sherwood RD-8108

I just got a tip from Sherwood tech support on resetting my Sherwood receiver, and it solved my problem perfectly. It's not the same model number but here's what I did: Put the receiver on Standby. Press and hold the Setup button for 3 seconds. When you see the model # on the display, press Enter. The word "Cleared" should show on the display. Hope it works for you also.

Not sure - just make sure the tape player button is not pressed.

if you have a tv with outputs you can connect audio wires from your tv output to your audio receiver input and you will have surround sound for everything connected to your tv

Testimonial: "That's a good idea. I hope that my TV will output the hdmi audio through the optical output on it. Thanks"

Maybe a shorted right speaker took out the other channel. Does it turn on now?

Generally speaking, an amp protects 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.

You can test the speaker for open or short by touching a small battery to the speaker wires. It should make static or click sounds. If not, it's dead. If it sparks and akes no sound it's shorted and dangerous to any amp.
