Is the receiver clear and dust free? A dusty receiver will trap heat, and heat is the #1 killer of components. If it starts out fine and then after a few minutes stops working my first thought is one or more components inside the receiver are overheating. This MAY be because of dust, or may simply be one or more transistors inside the receiver wearing out.

With some compressed air blow out all ports of the receiver. If you feel brave you may remove the cover and blow it out, but be VERY careful what you touch inside. Some parts will retain a charge for up to a couple days unplugged. Also, you want to make sure you discharge any potential static electricity beforehand as this will also kill components. If a thorough cleaning doesn't rectify the issue there is likely some internal damage and the simplest solution would be a new receiver. :(

Also... make sure once you clean the receiver that it has adequate air flow. Enclosed cabinets may look nice, but can cause problems especially if there are multiple components inside.

With the Reizen Mighty Loud Ear or any other product, can you adjust or block out surrounding noise? While dining in the nursing home all the noises of dishes and other people are very distracting.

You need to ask the nursing Home if they have the Loop System at the home & ask them to turn it on.
When they turn the system on hold your hearing aid button for 1-2 Seconds you should then hear what is relevant & this cuts off all the surrounding feedback sounds which you are presently getting. Best Wishes. Malcolm Campbell.

Bose cinemate speaker system suddenly gets very loud why?

If the unit is around 5-6 years old or less, you have a bad Rotary Encoder. It is an input to the microprocessor IC(a computer within your Bose). If you would like to inquire about repairing your Bose, please visit me at my website, audioserviceclinic.com. You may contact me directly from the site.

I have a Panasonic HT-692 surround sound system. Any time I use the surround sound features and turn the volume to a higher level(not ear piercing mind you) the system cuts off as if a ckt breaker has

If you are playing the unit that loud, for an extended time it sounds like the unit is going into overload, meaning it's getting to hot. Try turning the volume down to 1/2 of your current level. If it stays running, you will have to cut back on your volume, before you seriously damage the unit(or your hearing)

Low sound when turned to AUX for surround sound

remember to turn the volume up on the cable box and down on the surround sound so you will get max audio input to the surround system and then adjust using the surround sound remote! good luck

Chirping noise from Freezer and Refrig

Simple fix. Unplug refrigerator, locate fan, wipe clean from collected dirt etc. and spray a little WD-40 on the shaft. Spin the fan. Plug in and voila, chirp is gone.

Permanent fix, replace motor.

A loud buzz sound when the surround sound unit is powered on.

There is most likely a voltage regulation fault, or some filter capacitors that are going defective. It would be best to have this serviced before the parts fail completely and cause some damage.

Surround sound playback problem

1. do a hard reset to factory settings.
2. do a surround sound test to make sure all sounds are coming to all speakers properly
3. check the cable from the main unit to the sub for any obvious problems. ie. plugged in securely etc etc.

it sounds like the cable from the main unit to the sub is faulty

good luck

My jvc rx-6010v is OVERLOADING?

The very FIRST thing to check is to make certain ALL of your speakers have an IMPEDENCE of 8 OHMS. (JVC - and others - say SIX ohms, but 8 is the "standard" you should use.) Virtually all speakers of even modest quality will include this specification on a label on the back of the speaker. You CANNOT run more than (2) TWO speakers with 4 OHMs impedence on ANY amplifier (technical discussion too long!) [NOTE: The internal overload protection system you mention is designed to help prevent permanent damage. However, you cannot re-set these systems yourself. Your dealer or authorized JVC service center must do this. Note, though, that if you have attempted to "cheat" the system several times, damage CAN be done that requires servicing.] But, before you take the unit in for service, there is one more "test": check for shorted and/or mis-connected/disconnected speaker cables/wires. Visually inspect connections at the receiver and speakers first. You might find something obvious! If everything looks okay, then disconnect ALL of the speakers; and reconnect and test them one at a time (at relatively low volume.) For example, reconnect the left front speaker, test the system; THEN add the right front, test the system,and so on, ADDING one more speaker each time - FIRST MAKING SURE EACH OF THEM HAS AN IMPEDENCE OF AT LEAST 8 OHMS! IF there is a short (or bad speaker) this will help isolate it. Hopefully one of these "fixes" will work for you. GOOD LUCK!
