New member Username: KidaPost Number: 6 Registered: 01-2004 | I was moving cables and adding banana plugs and now my HK experiences occassional volume increases. Volume will jump from -35db to -19 or 0 with no contact to the receiver or remote. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm assuming its a contact problem with my cables but I thought I read something about this a while back. Anyone? Thanks KidA |

If you were messing with digital inputs, could it be jumping to a remembered mode with cranked speaker settings? Let us know what it is when you figure it out. Also do you have any other remote device that could be interfering with the 7200? Or could the batteries in the remote cause it to do something weird? Was it facing the receiver when it happened? The batteries that shipped with my 7200 remote were no good. |

Here is a thread with some others having the issue. http://www.hometheaterspot.com/htsthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB73&Number=4 85137&fpart=&PHPSESSID= I'm going to try a few things tonight to reporoduce or eliminate it. Dont think any remotes were in the vicinity. |

Bronze Member Username: NcavmanPost Number: 40 Registered: 12-2003 | Thanks for the link. I think I would jump out of my skin in my AVR went to 0db. I have very efficient speakers with powered woofers (94db), if the AVR went to 0db by itself it would be deafening. Let me know if you figure out what might have caused it. |

New member Username: KidaPost Number: 8 Registered: 01-2004 | I will keep you posted. It's so sporadic it may be hard to pin down. I reset the receiver yesterday and it hasnt happened since. I want to play around with "Surround Off" because this is the mode it seemed to occur in. |

New member Username: KidaPost Number: 9 Registered: 01-2004 | Interesting response from Harman Kardon: >>> Thanks for your inquiry to us. We have not seen this with the newer receivers...However, if there are any florescent lighting in the room with ballast (e.g. small lamb energy saving bulbs). We have seen them interfere with the receivers and sometimes causes the volume to ramp up without notice. This issue is very random and if you find the symptom occurring quite often the problem may be microprocessor related and it should be checked out by a service center. Hope this helps. Best Regards, Ed Carter, Jr. Web Support Specialist, JBL / Infinity/ HK >>> I do have energy saving fluoruescent bulbs in the adjacent room within site of the receiver. I wonder if there is something to this. It hasnt happened since I reset the receiver. I prefer the static electricity explanation since the receiver is sitting in the bottom of my old rack which I was sliding across the rug to reconnect cables. Hmmmmmmm... |

Bronze Member Username: KidaPost Number: 12 Registered: 01-2004 | Just an update. It hasn't happened since. I have to believe it was static electricity from sliding my old rack across the rug while moving cables. |
