Reciever Problems

Jan 15, 2005 9:23AM PST

I have a Harman Kardon AV235 reciever which will turn itself off about every 20 minutes or so. Here's the thing - it only shuts down when I am watching a DVD. Anyone have a clue what is up?

auto protect for your speakers. As the noise made when your AC3 decoder isnt working right, will harm speakers. Sometimes the finals do same.

It sounds like oil is on the right track. I had the same problem with a Yamaha. Check to make sure you have the subwoofer and all the speakers connected to the correct inputs/outputs. Also check to make sure that you did not inadvertently set up some type of timer during the setup.
