disconnect all speakers, turn it on. If it stays on, connect one pair of speakers at a time and when it shuts off, that speaker is the problem. There may be a short in the wire or the speaker may be bad. If you get that far, try connecting the bad speaker with another speakers wires.
Look closely at the rear connector panel of the receiver and look for pieces of stray strand wire that may be touching the speaker A binding post and the receiver chassis. If you are not using strand wire connection to the binding post then check whatever connector type you are using such as banana plug or spade plug for breakage or corrosion, the same goes for the speaker cable itself which isn't always so easy to detect. A few broken strands can cause a problem. If it is clean, turn off the receiver and disconnect the speaker cable. Check the binding post for tightness; if you can wiggle it then it is broken and needs to be replaced.
What role do you want each of these pieces to play?
The Front channel amps of the RX-V990 could be slaved to the DDP1 (or any other volume-controlled Line level source) by simply removing the jumpers in the RX's Front Pre Out/Main In and driving the Main In.
turn the volume down first and look for a mute, or midnight or source button. you may have to toggle through this button a couple of times. MAKE SURE THE VOLUME is DOWN first, then push it and recheck volume. if no luck, check your wires and make sure both ends are hooked up properly
chances are youve got a short at the rear of the receiver. look for frayed speaker wires touching the chassis of the stereo. use a flashlight. it only takes one tiny hair of a wire to short it out
His receiver has enough power all 6 pairs of speakers, however, he should use a speaker selector switch. Niles is very well built and you can find them with an "on/off" button for each pair, and they have models that will independantly conrol volume as well. (SSVC-6) For a good unit, expect to pay from $250-$400. They will keep the unit at an 8ohm load and not over tax the receivers power supply.
Hope this helps
