Remote control problem (Model VR615 5.1)

Will cost more to fix then a new unit , replace it and try to buy a extended warranty with the new one, most times you can get 3 years after the original warranty runs out.

Read this procedure to possibly fix the remote:

They also sell replacement remotes.

Zoom in on the picture of the original remote provided on the site (or look at your own) and get the actual remote model number.
or check eBay: search for "(model of the device or the remote) remotes", check the 'include description' box. Usually cheaper than the vendors.

A make and model number might be helpful.

If I understand you, nothing makes the receiver come on. Is there a reason you emphasize or suspect the remote when the hard-wired power switch doesn't work either?

Generally speaking, an amp protects itself from heat, shorts, overloads and operator exuberance by refusing to turn on or stay on.

Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output or marginally low impedance loading by the speakers; and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.

You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Eure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.

If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.

If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'naked'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced and competent hands-on tech.

Yes if we open and damage the clause cleary states that the product must not be tampered or handled except by authorised personnels. So what could be done was the possibilty if the remote control batteries were run down.
Check if the polarity is correct , Possible it can be stuck or is not getting the command to work the function.
Hence get your warranty to apply.

Take it to a dealer ,i have a funny feeling the remote or the reciever isnt working and as its a 2007 model it uses encrypted software to stop general garages from haveing a play and repairing it for you

Sounds like the reciever for you wireless devices is not working?

Are you using an antenna(OTA over the air) and are you recieving digital channels from the antenna?
