If Both speakers are working at a low volume and you turn it up and it clips and shuts off you have one of 3 problems. you have over driven your speakers and one has shorted the voice coil but still will work at low volume, its a overload protection for ohms short in receiver. unhook each speaker and turn balance to the one hooked up and turn up receiver if it shuts off do the same with other speaker to determine which side is bad. 2 speaker wires are touching at speaker or receiver. 3 a bad receiver output transister. Good luck.

Sherwood RX 4109. I have a spontaneous turning off problem as well but it seems different than what others report; more related to the button switch, which keeps popping out from the on position. The...

I'm am not certain, but it could be a safety circuit that is tripping the power. It will require investigation of the power supply to determine if it is good. It seems to me unlikely that it is the switch itself to blame. I think it would be rare for the locking mechanism of the switch to act like that.

RX-4109 Remote Controlled Stereo Receiver with Phono Section

Unlike the budget stereo receivers now flooding the entry-level price points at dealers across the country, the Sherwood RX-4109 is designed and built in-house with the same quality and attention to detail we have been bringing to our audio gear for the last 50 years.

With 105 Watts RMS per channel, phono section, binding posts, a versatile remote control and switching for two pairs of loudspeakers, the only thing that bespeaks the word "budget" about the RX-4109 is its modest cost.

MSRP 179.95

I have a sherwood RX 4109.....can i hook a pair of 6 ohm speakers and then a powered sub?

By design, yes for one pair of 6-ohm speakers used at a time; depends on the sub for the second BUT there is no way to control its volume at the Sherwood.

Tuner shuts off as soon as i turn it on (sherwood xr-4109)

Check the speaker wiring in the back. Make sure it is not wired improperly.

You could remove the speaker wiring from the back of the amp and see if it still shuts off after turning it on.

If it still shuts off after the wiring is removed, it is a problem with the amp itself.

If it remains on after the wiring is removed, then I'd say you have a problem with the speaker wiring or the speakers themselves. It still could be a problem with the amp in this case though... just a problem when it is trying to put power to the speakers.
