Hi, after pushing the "Advanced Surround" and "Enter" buttons together for about 3 seconds the unit turns on then comes up with an amp error message then shuts down again, what do this mean?

The only solution I, personally, can help any of you with is to buy a good working model. i.e. Mine! I am upgrading to a 7.1 Onkyo and do not need mine any longer. Send me an email and I will gladly sell it to you! $75 (no remote) But you already have one so... ([email protected])

It's probably going to need output transistors and some resistors, it's a job for a technician. A rough estimate on price is $100 to $130 (that's parts and labor). Before the smoke it may have only needed repair of bad connections.

Disconnect all your speaker wires from the back of the receiver and turn it back on. If it shuts off, you need to have it serviced. If not post a comment and I can walk you thru troubleshooting. Hope this helps

This could be a short on one or more of the speaker cables. I suggest you remove all speaker cables and try the amp again. If it does not switch off this would indicate a short on a speaker cable, so turn it off again and reconnect one speaker cable and try again. Do this with each cable in turn until the problem re-occurs, and you have now found the offending speaker cable. Check it for shorts at both ends.

This may not be the problem, of course, but should be your first investigation.
