- I own a STR-790 Sony surround sound receiver with the following
- problem. When the system is in somtheing other than surround mode (just
- using the front and back speakers) and the music is turned up *kinda*
- loud, the PROTECTOR jumps on and the system no longer functions. The
- idea of the protector is to keep the system from shorting out, due to a
- short somewhere. However, when it is in full surround mode (center
- speaker included) it does get quite a bit louder, but the protector
- still comes on. I know, 1: there are no shorts in the system and 2: the
- speakers are nowhere close to reaching maximum capacity. This is my
- second one (the first one had a constant hum until the system was warmed
- up) and the problem persists. My speakers are : Front) Scott (rated to
- 180 watts) and Back) Infinity 112's rated to 120 watts. I even switched
- them around and it still did it. Is there something wrong with the
- impedance needed for the system and the speakers I have?
-
- Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
