I have an TX-SR313 for a year now and it was working perfectly until yesterday it just automatically shots off even when I turn it on for several time it just shots off. How can I solve that Problem?
Hello, It seems like the receiver is going into protection mode. A unit will only go into protection mode for two reasons mainly. The first reason is if there is an internal short. The second is if there is an external short which is typically only caused by one or more of the speaker connections. To isolate whether the short is internal or external, you would first need to unplug the receiver and disconnect all of the speakers. At this point you will plug the receiver back in with no speakers connected and turn the unit back on. Also turn the volume up to about 70 (even with no speakers connected). If the unit stays on that means that one or more of the speaker connections was causing the receiver to go into protection mode. If the receiver shuts off again with no speakers connected, then that means the unit would have an internal short and would have to go in for service. Thanks, FJD
