I have an RCA home theater RDT315W.Having the standby light on I clikck on the remote to tuner and the unit shuts down. It shuts down no matter what i click on. I need help. Thanks

There are many issues that may be at play here. Most likely, you are experiencing DC Offset(meaning you have a damaged amplifier). For more information, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. Thank you.

Looks like the remote is faulty, a replacement remote may fix it.

If the unit shuts down after you hear a pop, you have DC voltage on the speaker output line. If it doesn't shut down, is it popping in all speakers, or just some?

I have had the same thing happen. Unplug the unit (AC) and wait about 30 seconds. Plug it back in and it should be fine. I assume you tried both the remote and the front panel controls.

I am having the same problem...i plug it in the standby light xomes on but i press the power button and nothing happens...mine is a rca rtd315wr model

If the system is connected properly and the main tuner power is on you will see the orange standby light on in the front of the main diamond shaped control unit. If that light is not on, you have not connected the system and power cables properly.

If the standby light is not lit, press the power on/off button in the middle of the rectangular processor/tuner to turn it off and unplug the main power cord from the main tuner/processor from the wall. Next, ensure that all of the power, video and audio cables from the diamond shaped control unit are properly connected to the large tuner/processor. Since you are there, check any other av in/out connections.

Now that you have checked and adjusted the cables between the controller and the tuner, plug the tuner back into the wall and push the power on button. Now check the standby light again on the diamond shaped controller unit.

Once that light is lit, press the silver, horizontal on button in the middle of the diamond shaped display unit, or the Power Standby/On button on your main remote control and you are operational.

it means the home theater is over heating and the unit will shut down to prevent any damage. This can happen if the unit is stacked along with other electronic devices or the unit is in an enclosed area that prevents the unit from cooling properly. To decrease the chance of overheating, relocate your home theater to a more open area.

If the home theater display reads PROTECTION every time you turn it on, no matter where or how the unit is placed, it needs service. To set up service call Samsung Customer Care at 1-800-SAMSUNG (1-800-726-7864). Have your model number and serial number on hand to set up service.

Here is how I reset. Key terms to identify: Main unit, remote unit, transmission card, reset button on remote unit. 1. Unplug both units and remove transmission card from rear of Main unit. 2. Wait five minutes. Insert transmission card in rear of Main. 3. Turn on both units. If units do not communicate, there will be a solid red indicator on remote unit...In this case continue with 4. Use remote and turn off main. 5. Point remote at main and enter the following four digits, holding each down for about a second:  0   1   3   5 6. The main unit should turn on. 7. With remote unit on, press and hold down the reset button for 5 seconds.

the quick answer is turn it off from the power button, then press the dvd button or whatever button you are using.Do it twice if it needs it.

I think I answered the previous problem for 8 Mar.
