Double clicking sound- no power

Hi, I just bought a refurbished receiver, and brand new paradigm speakers. I decided to let the amp and speakers play overnight to "break them in". The receiver was working for 10 hours straight at low volume, before shutting down by itself. I then turned it on again and it lasted 10 minutes. After that it didn't want to turn on anymore, but would make a "click click" sound. The next day, I removed every connector from the receiver and tried again with no luck. I removed the cover and checked the 2 visible fuses to be ok. I then tried powering the receiver to see where the sound was coming from. Once I identified what seemed to be a relay, I tapped on it with the back end of a screw driver, and that fixed it!! My receiver now works, but I am wondering if I should replace that part anyway? I don't really know if this will change anything? any ideas? thanks!

thanks for your response, I am thinking of buying the part and keeping it aside until dday. Is there any danger of damaging other componenets if I wait for it to stop working before replacing it?

The relay contacts are most likely bad in the relay and will most likely happen again. If you know how to solder, take out the relay and look up the numbers on the internet and see what you can find. If not, try to find where the manufactuer is located and call them to see where you can get a new relay. Good Luck

How do I hook up the receiver to the subwoofer to the tv

Here's the Owner's manual -> https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paradigm.com%2Fdownloads%2FOM-100.pdf.
There are many ways to connect the system depending on your receiver's outputs and the speakers. Usually, the TV L/R output connects to one of the receiver's inputs. The receiver's preamp sub output goes to the powered subwoofer. The receiver's FL/C/FR/SL/SR/RL/RR speaker outputs go to the respective speakers.

I have a pair of Paradigm Monitor 3 V.2 High Def speakers for my front L&R home theater system. On speaker sounds very tinny with no bottom end. On inspection neither the main or tweeter loo

A few questions to help me help you: (1) Does the woofer cone move freely when you use your hands to move it (or do you feel friction)? (2) have you tried swapping the left speaker for the right to rule out the receiver as a cause?

Paradigm 5.1 to 7.1 system

The Dolby curcuit in the Paradigm must be Dolby 7.1 or it will simply not be able to send the extra channel signals to the speakers. In otherwords you will not get the full 7.1 sound from two speakers added to a 5.1 amp.

No sound from new HP desktop

use the line out or earphone plug and connect it to a receiver or other amp to check if it gives music.

do you see a loudspeaker icon on the right down side of the task bar?
if yes then at least internally windows has recognized your system has a sound device.(which does not mean it has to work properly ;-)

if not, go through hardware detection( see the settings section: right-click on start button, goto settings, choose system or hardware icon then, next: device manager, double-click)
wait if it shows any unknown devices, let it scan for drivers on the windows-cd or install cd for audio-card or the support-cd of the mainboard, install, reboot and sound check again,

if still the prob, please come back to fixya giving more details(model, mainboard, soundcard and operation system version)...
good luck

Front bose speakers and bass module stopped puttimg put sound

If you're saying you hooked the Bose speakers directly to the Yamaha's amp instead of the prescribed way through their own bass module - they're cooked.

Hi Tracey

Most of these older machine had speaker switches on the front panel. Can you check what they are set to. It may be that both switches(A and B) are set in, or set out. this could present the problem you are having with no sound. turn on just one switch that corresponds the connections you have made on the rear (use speaker A) Another thing to check, is when you first turn on the amp, do you hear a relay click shortly after you switch on. If you don't hear this delayed click, then there may well be a problem in the output stages of the amp. If this is the case, then you will need to take it to a tech to have a look and see what has failed in the amp. Hope this info helps, if you have any questions, I am happy to try and help you further.

regards

Paradigm monitor 9 v.5

The more power the better as far as amplifiers go, underpowering speakers causes clipping and burns up voice coils. Having a high power reserve means you have higher headroom for transients, with more power the amp will be able to handle transients better and will not be running at full output all the time in order to get desired volume levels, hence more headroom.
If you want to go with quality go with components, a seperate dedicated high quality amplifier such as a haffler, crest, etc., amps you find powering monitors in studios. It all depends what you want.

Sub thumps repeatedly

since it still thumps i suspect the speaker is ok, but i suspect you have an electronic problem in the amp. since it is a powered sup & has the ability to auto turn on it has electronic circuits inside, take it to a service center for an estimate

yamaha htr-5890 receiver clicks on then off. My yamaha htr-5890 receiver will turn on, display volume with dB for two seconds then turn off. I can hear it click and run for those two seconds then it clicks off. My guess is it needs a fuse or it is going into protection mode and I do not know where the fuse is located or what I can do to fix this. I do not have any wiring plugged in.

Yamaha HRT 5890 I have contunuity between the input and output on the high side. The 10a fuse was open i replaced with the same result click but nothing else. Can I buy a new transformer? Where can I find one. I have klipsh F3 synergy towers with a 12" klipsh sub. I was running the reciever @ full throttle. I wonder if the cooling fan was working because she always runs hot and I never hear the fan?
