I have my Onkyo hdmi channel 2 using sonos as source and connected to house speakers. It seemed to be no problem for a couple weeks. Now it will frequently suddenly shift into standby. If I reset it may resume playing for minites or hours and then suddenly go to standywith blinking red.
Thanks alot for any help.

The suggestion from Fixya consultant that there might be a mismatch of speaker ohms and receiver tipped me of to check the niles speaker selection box and sure enoufg tne protection switch was off. In playing 2 or more combinations of 4ohm speakers the protection button on speaker selectionbox must be on.
As more pairs of speakers are parallel connected to a rec/amp, the overall impedance becomes lower. ex, if 2 pairs of 4-ohm speakers in parallel becomes 2 ohms and so on with multiple pairs of speakers. Most multiple speaker switches such as the Niles ss-4/ss-6
corrects this problkem to assure a safe operatring load.

Thanks to the Fixya consultant tip that there may be an impedance mismatch of speaker ohms to rec/amp ohms I checked the multiple speaker selection box and sure enough the protection button had been accidently swithed off which was creating the problem.
Amp/Rec Impedance Load
As more pairs of speakers are parallel connected to Rec/Amp the overall system impedance becomes lower. Ex, 2 pairs of 8 ohm spk connected in parallel, impedance will be 4 ohms; 2 pairs of 4-ohm spk connected in parallel become 2 ohms, and so on. The
Niles SS-4/SS-6 speaker selection boxes includes circuitry that assures a proper load with all speakers playing simultaneously WHEN TURNED ON. Thanks again.
