Audio Receiver

[George Cantstandya]

What brand of receiver is it? I had a Sony that would do that and occasionally the volume would start going up to full blast on its own. It was a complete piece of junk. The problems started just after the warranty expired of course. So i junked it and bought an Onkyo that has served me well.

Also it could be the speaker wire. Check to make sure they are not frayed where a small piece of wire from the positive might come in contact with the negative or vice versa. That can cause it to short or shut down. Another possibility, not entirely sure, but if your speakers have a ohm rating not compatible with what your receiver pushes out this might cause a problem.
