wondering if input levels are too high on some channels causing safety limits to shut it out..check level outputs on eguipment.

Try changing surround modes. You might be in 5 channel stereo mode.

Hi, Try pushing the "Advanced Surround" and "Enter" buttons together for about 3 seconds.

No, this sounds like a speaker problem to me.
It sounds like the voice coils in your speaker(s) have been fried.
What happens is the part that is burnt does not funtion, but as you increase the volume/voltage the speaker "jumps" foward to a section of voice coil that is not as damaged.
Check your speakers!

Series the speakers, they may not get as much power as you would like, but your receiver will last longer.

Make sure surround speakers enabled in menu, select surround mode on receiver from a media source that is recorded in surround sound or the receiver can produce surround from.

I had this problem too. Finally, after using the MCACC setup and making sure all the speakers worked, I found I had to set the source to FM, TV or whatever from the remote control and set the mode to advanced surround sound using the front panal button on the upper right. Had to fool with them a lot. Good luck.

With the receiver off, press ENTER + ADVANCED SURROUND keys continuously for 2 sec. and it will tell you the fault it encountered. Even if it has a short, it will still protect the speakers; however, it is still a good idea to disconnect all speakers before doing this.
