After a few minutes, I will hear a loud "pop" and then the system will shut down. The reciever itself is on but it doesn't send any sound through the speakers. Is this a fixable issue or is the whole thing "scrap"?After a few minutes, I will hear a loud "pop" and then the system will shut down.

I tested my receiver with the cover off and a fan running over it. It does the same thing ,goes on for a few seconds and shuts off. There must be a component that's bad. Does any one know which switch, relay or other part may be doing this ?I tested my receiver with the cover off and a fan running over it.

I tested my receiver with the cover off and a fan blowing over it and it still does the same thing, turns on for a few seconds then turns off. Can anyone out there tell me which component may be doing this ?I tested my receiver with the cover off and a fan blowing over it and it still does the same thing, turns on for a few seconds then turns off.

klh r5100 turns itself off after a few seconds problem.klh r5100 turns itself off after a few seconds problem.
I have a 7100 with the same problem. I took the cover off, and kept turning it on again when it would shut off. Eventually I smelled smoke, and saw that a resistor at the heat sink in the back left of the receiver was glowing orange. I replaced it, but still same problem. I tested the transistor (C4468) on the far left that's connected to the resistor, and it measures about 133 ohms, while all the other transistors have infinite resistance. Radio Shack has some transistors that may work. SanKen makes a 2SC4468 which is rated for 100W and 10Amps, so I'm thinking it's the same thing. I'm hoping it's not something upstream from this. I may have caused it by accidentally touching the a speaker wire to the case in the back. Makes sense because I think the resistor is in the volume control circuit for one of the surround speakers.

i have the same problem w/my klh 5100. i don't think my system is over heating, it not on long enough. comes on for few seconds then clicks of. any solution yet??? any help would be good. thank you i have the same problem w/my klh 5100. i don't think my system is over heating, it not on long enough. comes on for few seconds then clicks of. any solution yet??? any help would be good. thank you
********, overheating my *** i left it unplugged for 3 days sat mine on my veranda and it still turned itself off, if it was as simple as overheating we wouldn't be posting a problem

Hi, I don't have the manual with me. I found KLH R 5100 with user manual in the following link. Tray to contact them. OK http://www.ebay.com/itm/KLH-R-5100-Receiver-Hi-Power-/250902259353
use component audio to the HDTV and optical audio to your KLH reciever. The component and optical are always active at the same time. I work for TWC if you have more questions.
