First I would try to reset it. With it off, hold the power button for about 5-10 seconds. It should either reset, or tell you to press enter to reset it.

Open it up, check by where the power cord comes in there should be a fuse. Check to see if it is blown. If so it is an easy fix. Replace the fuse with same type. If not the capacitors are gone and that is expensive to replace.

SOURCE: sony str-ga7es stereo receiver/surround sound amp.

unplug it discharge output voltages with a 1k resistor then resolder the voltage driver ic's these ic's start with up, ie upc2558 , or stk350 etc. you will see the solder rings and cool solder joints around then. Use liquid flux and solder them back to the board. You might end up replacing them but youl never know until you try soldering them first. Larry's Electronics. [email protected]

Generally speaking, an amp protects itself from heat, shorts and overloads.


Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output 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 hands-on tech.

Can't get subwoofer working with sony model STR-DE845 receiver

read the manual

http://www.retrevo.com/support/Sony-STR-DE845-Receivers-manual/id/387ci973/t/2/

First, it must be a self-powered subwoofer, then you've got some settings to select in the receiver.

My reciever turns itself off

You most likey have a wire short on your center or rear surround speakers. The wire short will be between the + and - points of the speaker wire.

To find the problem speaker, disconnect one of the 3 speakers at a time from the back of the sony and see if the problem goes away. Once you identified the offending speaker, check both the sony side and speaker side for the short. The small wire strands are hard to see and it only takes one to trip the protection mode, so look carefully.
