Tim H Unregistered guest | OK, now Ive read alot of posts in here and alot are of the variety or the "OVERLOAD" aspects of their receiver units......this was my previous post... I have a Technics SA-GX690 Home theatre surround sound system that I bought in '96. It has been very good to me up until now. All of a sudden when the unit is on for a few hours, maybe less, it will shut itself off and "OVERLOAD...TURN UNIT OFF" scrolls across the LCD display. It only does this when I "turn the sound up and a few seconds later it shuts itself off". If I watch a movie with the sound really low to where I can barely hear it it is ok. I am wondering if it is heating up too much and it is powering itself off because of it. any help appreciated.. ok now Ive done some research and found a few links that may help. With me it didnt help because ive tried it all and I still have not been able to pinpoint the problem. I have replaced the speaker wires with monster wired and banana plugs, and also monster RCA cables for the subwoofer, figuring that I thought maybe the wires were not being able to handle all the juice going thru them, but since I figured I eliminated that with adding bigger more quality wired and cables it would help, but it didn't. Strangly, I have always been able to turn my unit up SERIOUSLY loud in the past with anything and blow my place up, now all of a sudden if I turn it up a second later it shuts off, and oddly enough it didnt do it until I got a new dvd player and the same night it started all this, maybe just a coincidence, but it now does it with everything off except just the radio on and it will do it. Well i hope this topic can be solved with a commen solution sometime, because I would like to be able to turn my sound up and enjoy the music or movie like I was used to being able to do. I have a bad feeling it is something so stupid and so minute that everyone is overlooking, including myself. Isnt that the way it always ends up?...check these links out to help eliminate some simple solutions... http://www.crutchfield.com/TechSupport/index.html?list=yes&cat=104 00 http://www.crutchfield.com/tech/kb207.html http://www.crutchfield.com/tech/kb102.html http://www.crutchfield.com/tech/kb101.html Thanks everyone and I hope someday a good resolve will surface, because I dont believe this is a specific problem with a specific unit, its a GENERAL problem with receivers and speaker systems alone. |

I was going to say check your wiring, but cant because you mentioned you changed wires. I once had a problem with my amp over heating. And solved it by finding a strand of wire that was touching the back of the receiver. Well im not much of a help, but hope you find the problem. I would say to un hook everything, and re-hook up everything again. |

Disco Stand Unregistered guest | Tim I had the same problem with my JVC 8010 reciever. I love watching movies extremely loud, then one day it shuts off and says overload and it did this for about 2 or 3 days. I really didn't do anything to fix it but just wait to see if the problem went away and it did. That only happened once. I know I did reconnect all the wires and such to see if that would do anything, but it didn't, just a pain in my as$. So i guess all I can say is just wait for the problem to go away and if it doens't then...listen to what G dawg said. |

On many of these receivers you need very efficient 8 ohm or 6 ohm speakers--at least 91 db's. Often many Klipsch models are 93 db's. |
