I have an RT 2380 Home Theater System. Once the power is on (red light on the power button is on), I try to turn on any mode (tuner, dvd, etc.), the power turns off (red power light goes off), and I can get nothing to happen in any mode. I cannot turn the system on again unless I reset the unit by unplugging it and plugging it back in, however, the same problem will occur again when I pick a mode.
If you're NOT still under warrantee you should at least open the reciever and look for a blown fuse near where the power cable enters the set. If it is blown, it will be obvious and make sure that the set is unplugged before replacing it. If it blows again, or if it is not blown, your problem is probably in the 'X' volt regulator and you will need professional help with the repairs. You can also check the board where the components are mounted and resoled any that look bad. Brief power outages may cause the receiver to turn off on its own. If you are using a surge protector, try connecting the set directly to the wall outlet. In your case it could caused by a blown fuse, a leaky diodes or a bad solder joint at the horizontal drive transformer. All can be replaced at a local electronic or hardware store and they're easy to replace If this does not correct the problem, you may need to have your reciever serviced.

similar problem. Eventually get it to turn on, but only volume control on unit works. Can not get remote to make any changes. When I try to turn it on w/remote, system goes dead with a loud click. Factory reset does nothing.
