Your drawing to many watts from the unit and its shutting down. Make sure the -/+ are set properly for the speakers. Also the power amp inside the unit could be bad and the relay trips off. Plug straight into the wall and don't go through a powerstrip. Is anything else connected to the receiver?

Harman Kardon AVR 120 volume goes up all by itself. I turn it down, it goes up again. over and over ... then it stops doing it. Is it the optical cable? COMCAST?

After setting volume remove all remotes from the room. It is possible that a button is staying activated.

All in the setup of the TV if you are using the "net" option that allows for communication between devices on the HDMI connection turn off as a possibility.

Last resort is the volume control motor driven knob on receiver see if receiver is defective try with other inputs such as radio etc.

Disconnect all inputs and see if volume increases?

Hope this helps?

Just purchased a used hk 3370,only hear a little bit of sound if I turn the volume all the way up.Tried both speaker sets and headphone jack,all the same

Turn the volume down. Maximum volume is not a troubleshooting tool. If it's silent at half volume, it's essentially source-free. No sense blowing your speakers up when we find the setting that's wrong.

Let's us FM for the initial silence issue. Tune a station.

Look carefully at the front panel. Analyze every indicator.

The amp shuts off all the time. Had to reset it, after half an hour it shuts off again. Is there any solution for that? Thanks

The amp is probably in protection mode due to excess heat, a short circuit out at the speakers or an internal problem. My guess is it's heat from being driven hard. Make sure the unit has sufficient ventilation or try turning the volume down a bit.

Ipod to harman/kardon

Using a headphone to RCA adaptor plug the headphone jack into the headphone connector of the Ipod. Then plug the RCA jacks into any available Analogue input on the receiver. Increase the volume on the Ipod to 80% then adjust the receiver's volume according.

Or get a dock that will allow remote control and charging, such as Roth, DLO or Wadia.

Harman Kardon AVR 500: randomly accelerates volume levels.

The problem is with the actual eltromechanical element on the volume control, my avr 300 does this as well and I'll let you know the secret to avoiding it. There are small indents on the volume control as you turn it, if you leave it half way between indents, it will periodically start reading volume changes, if you're lucky it will go down, if you're unlucky by the time you've noticed it act up your speakers are blown. When you change the volume, make sure the control rests in an indent and the problem will never crop up again. A simple solution if you're the only one that uses the receiver.
