Overload message i just hooked this up and it reads overload the only thing i have hooked up are the built in surround sounds speakers in my ceiling. What could cause this?

JDinson Nov 08, 2007

I am having the same problem newbietorres. Did changing the connectors fix the problem. I am using Monster Cable and they are hooked up to Boston CR65 speakers. As soon as I turn on the receiver it displays overload and turns off. If I only connect the right speaker it stays on and you hear the radio station. If I attempt to connect the right speaker either by itself or with the right speaker connected it "Overloads" and turns off.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated from anyone !!

Thanks, John

Chnage de golden connectors (if that's what you are using) that you use to connect your speaker wiring to your speakers if they seem damaged. that's what i did

I had this problem yesterday. In my case the problem was the subwoofer connected in the power outlet in the back of the VSX. Switching to other power outlet solved the problem. So the tip is: check what is plugged on the VSX power outlet. In my case the sub probably was draining much energy and causing the overload in the receiver.

Do not know how to wire my sa-w10 speakers together

For surround sound, you need an A/V receiver with 5.1 or 7.1 surround capability. Depending on what kind of receiver you have, the DVD player, satellite/cable box, etc hooks to the receiver, those signals go out to the TV, and the speakers hook to the receiver. The receiver decodes the signal from the cable/satellite box or DVD player and routes it to the appropriate speakers. If the TV program or DVD isn't HD or coded for surround sound, the best you can expect is 2.1 channel stereo sound. OR, you can hook everything (DVD, satellite/cable box) to the TV and run an optical cable from the Digital Output of the TV to the receiver, which is basically the same thing, just a different way to hook everything up. Hope this helps

I'm trying to hook up a sharp aquos tv to an rca surround sound receiver and it won't work? any suggestions? I have tried turning off the speakers on the tv....

First thing to do is get the owner manual for each and start checking both settings and actual hookup---usually a surround system will work on all types of sets---when in doubt read the owner manuals.

If need either manual Google that model number with "manual" to try to locate it.

As far as the set goes it may require either a variable audio output source or in some cases the out to be a fixed level.

The symptom you described can be caused by any number of things. I always start with the output power transistors which are the first things to blow with a speaker output overload condition. Unplug the power cord to your unit, remove the top cover and use an ohmmeter to check resistance from C to E on all 10 of the power transistors (Q6050 thru 54 and Q6060 thru 64) attached to the large heat sink. Blown transistors typically read <1 ohm, compared to good transistors that are >10k ohms. If you find a bad transistor it will need to be replaced.

Any hdmi channels i turn on cause an overload message on the receiver and it shuts down. How do i fix this

Check the surround setting you may have these HDMI channels set on. Try changing the audio setting to STEREO to see if you still get the OVERLOAD message. If it helps you may have faulty wiring on your surround speakers. This would explain why it was only happening on your HDMI settings.

After checking your wiring and not finding any problems you will have to narrow it down to the source of the problem. Disconnect your center channel and retry the surround mode and see if you get the OVERLOAD.

Once you find the problematic speaker you may need to replace it. Unfortunately it could be possible the speakers are unable to handle the power being provided by the receiver and may be sending feedback to the unit causing it to overload.
