Any chance to trouble shoot a 506 onkyo reciever? Shuts down with any speaker config other thaan stereo. Thanks jeromekj at msn dot com
Sorry about the delay, I did not see this posting.
The other speaker configs utilize the surround processing section. In stereo, the surround processor is bypassed. Based upon your brief description, I would think that the surround processing section is producing DC voltage which is detected by the output section forcing the unit into protect mode. This is not a problem that is easily diagnosed remotely. One thing to chech, if you can, is the power regulators on the surround board. Make sure that the solder connections are good. If they are OK, then I would suggest that you get a detailed estimate from a local service shop. Report the results here and we'll work through the actual repair.

Dan thanks, I kept trying different confurations until I realized that it was fine as long as the center channel wasn't used. I have an old bose speaker setup and the fronts run through the sub. I checked what I could (not much in there) and it looks like a cap was bad so I ordered a few I'll let you know how it turns out Thanks for getting back to me

Hi Abrsvcs, Dan Hi speakers are back on track or fixed... So you mentioned regulators on the surround board, ahh, sound board there are 6 boards total hdmi, a video, a side board that apears to tie those 2 to the main, another with board with six(? ) with heat sinks and then the last board has the outputs to speakers and stacks directly over one cornerof the main.
Some stuff goes through this (speaker board) to the main. Is this the sound board or is this just the speakers and the main has this separate area and this is the sound board? Last thing directly below the speaker board on the main what appears to be some audio there are 2 fuses, every where else on the board appears to be protected by breakers. Well anyway the regulators look like what?
Thanks Dan
