Hi uscsae, This is usually caused by a blown fuse or a blown capacitor. The fuse would be cheap and easy to fix, the capacitor would be expensive and replacement would be my choice. If you are pretty handy with electronics, unplug it, take the cover off the unit, and look near the capacitor for the fuse. Check the fuse for a break in the wire inside it. You can get these fuses at Radio Shack. Hopefully this is what it is, and will be a cheap and easy fix for you. Let me know how it goes. Best regards, nightdiver

SOURCE: Onkyo A-RV401 amp is not sending any sound to the speakers.

The protection circuit is self resetting, it operates only when there is a fault condition in the amp. there is most probably a failure in the output stages of the amp causing a dc offset condition in the speaker output. The protection cct operates to prevent damage to your speakers. It may be difficult to offer a solution to you for this, it gets a bit complex to fix from here...you may have dry solder joint problems in the output stages, or more likely, failed output components. if you have a transistor checker(ohms meter), then you may be able to determine if any output transistors have failed, I recommend taking the amp to a good HiFi guy for repair. Many (including myself) often replace the all transistors to the last 2 stages when outputs fail. assures reliability in the future to repair this way, but the cost goes up a bit also. expect at least $120 to repair is it is a failed output stage.

SOURCE: Technics SU-V2 keeps cutting out

An amp will cut out if the output protection circuit kicks in. This circuit compares output power against the preset level. Each channel has it's own, independent protector. There are calculations that can be done, but for a novice the rule of thumb is to "never use a speaker with a power rating less than the amp AND a lower impedance than stated". Typically using a 4 ohm load on a 8 ohm system is inviting disaster. Even if the system does not become a smoke generator, you might notice that though "louder", the sound quality is deteriorated. Many "audiophiles" often hook up some combinations of speakers to have "surround" without really understanding that the collective impedance actually changes (generally lowers).

Hi Jimbob. Sounds like you have dirty/dry controls/switches. The contact lubricant dries out on them producing intermittent and scratchiness when you operate them. Clean any offending controls or signal switches with CRC2-26 by squirting(to flood then internals) each control/switch. you will have to do this from the inside of the amp. You may also have a dirty speaker protection relay, sound may return to a dead channel when you turn the vol up points to that. Good Luck. If you need more info feel free to get back to me here. Happy to talk you through more if you cant sort it out.

regards
Graeme

SOURCE: p-301 onkyo pre-amp

Hi juicer, If you use the switched outlet, then everything will be turned on/off when you operate the preamp power switch. Use the unswitched, then you have to turn off each unit separately. You choose which one you want. It wont matter.

What connection do you intend to use to connect the LBT zx6 to the Onkyo preamp??

I have a Sony S-master digital amplifier. When I power it up a (push power protector) image on screen. It is holding me from doing anything else. How do I get rid or fix it

that usually means there is a problem in the amplifier. Most likely a shorted amp IC. This will need to be replaced before the unit will power up correctly.

I bought a sony marine amp from Boaters world. It came with 1 year warranty I bought 2 year extended warranty. Amp is 10 months old and broken. boaters world is out of bussinees. Who can I return to?

Since the unit is less than one year old, Sony should repair it under warranty. Also, check the extended warranty parperwork. Normally the seller does not provide the actual warranty, they contract with a service company. That company should still be around. If you are not successful with Sony, please post the exact problem and model number and we'll try to get you up and running.

Thanks,
Dan
