Power will not stay on

Hold the power button in for a few seconds it will shut down. Then unplug system and push the power button down with it unplugged then replug it in and power up again. Then do a proper shut down again to see if the problem fixed. I hope this assisted you. John

Try unplugging it for AT LEAST 2 min this will reset it.

I had this problem also and discovered an easy way to trick it into powering on: Click the power button, then within 1 second of the receiver powering off, click the power button again. The receiver should stay on this time. This works with both the button on the receiver and the remote control.
I would like to know what causes this problem and whether or not I should be concerned about damage being done. I assume this is a power protection. I haven't tried plugging this receiver into a different power socket to test, but I don't think the power plug is the problem. Note: I have the subwoofer plugged into the power plug on the back of the receiver.

hi , by your description i would say the relay in your power supply is deffective , its not a cost effective repair , so change the power supply

hope this helps

r this one: Switc off your receiver using the main power button on the front face. Hold the the Effect button and the Direct button, and turn the main power ON.f it ain't working, try this one: Turn your receiver ON and, while holding down the [VCR1] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. "Clear" might appears on the display and your receiver might enter Standby mode.
Hope it does.. With your receiver in the Standby mode, hold on STRAIGHT (EFFECT) on the front panel and press STANDBY/ON.
* The ADVANCED sETUP menu appears in the front panel display.ress STRAIGHT (EFFECT) to select the desired setting.
RESET = To reset your receiver to its factory presets.
CANCEL = To cancel without making any changes Press STANDBY/ON to confirm your selection.
* If you selected "RESET", your receiver is reset to its factory presets and switches to Standby mode good luck

Sounds like it's going in to safe mode. This can be caused by a number of things but the first thing to look at is a failed output amp.

when i plug it in to charge it just stays on the philips welcome screen and just stayz like that wen i reset it does the same thing

hi im joe i have the same problem, but before this happened it turned the channel by its self and hade a mind of its own. to get it on unplug it. then as you plug it in repeatedly press the power button on the REMOTE. this will get it to turn on. if you get it on and some how get to control it then go into menu and put the fpd lock on. now you can only use the remote but at least it works. :)

If bought new return immediately for replacement. The amp section is no good and cannot be reset - needs repair. but you are under WARRANTY - use it.
