Hello, first let me apologize for your frustrations. You have listed all typical troubleshooting methods. The receiver will need to be serviced or exchanged.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would definitely return it. If it shut down even with no speakers... Just get a replacement, I like the system for what I paid for it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It’s overheating and going into protection mode.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The receiver might be to powerful for the speakers. Check your watts to see how much they can handle. It shuts down to protect your speakers so they don't blow. Invest in more powerful speakers. I have 2 Polk audio speakers that handle 140 watts each.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
