Protection circuit triggered at medium volume setting Help! Please! I have this receiver a Sony 780 3D bluray player and a 46" bravia TV. I use DTV for my tv programming, I have 4 Infinity Primus 360, a Bic 15" sub woofer and a polk center channel speaker. My problem is with the Sony 1020 which works well up to volumes settings of 25-30 anything beyond that and the protection, regardless of the source, is triggered, now the volume shows that you can go to a level of 45; however, and I have not attempted to get there but my amp is always shutting off. I have eliminated the subwoofer feeling that the problem was there, not so. The infinity speakers are close to 10 years old, any suggestions? I've had the same situation with the STRDN 1000 which this receiver replaced. HELP Protection circuit triggered at medium volume setting Help! Please!

Thanks, that might have been the reason for I went from some mid range infinitys to 4 Martin Logan towers and the problem seems to have disappeared, I'll keep pushing the volume up after the recommended break-in period of the ML10'S.Looks as if the problem was in my old speakers, I was able to floor the receiver with the ML10s without triggering the protection circuit so now I'm going to sit back and enjoy warping across the various universes with Startrek and the Skywalker clan.

I have a Sony Bravia TV and a Sony Blueray player going thru the Denon without problems. Never used a Sony AVR so can't help with that. I imagine with the Sony AVR, you may have the potential for fewer remotes, but that's all I can think of. The firmware on the Denon AVR led me thru every step of the speaker setup using Audyssey without a hitch. Only mention this b/c someone else said to research it. I love my Denon and would buy again! Good luck...

Are the electrical connections for all the components grounded? That can help. Then I usually jigger the speaker volume level and the component until I hit a happy medium. It's also good to have everything running through a grounded surge protector.

You know, I never thought about checking it. All I can say is I have one serving each of our computers and they work perfectly. Thinking of replacing the regular APC on the TV. But I'm not sure it will shut off my subwoofer when the tv is turned off because the tv still draws an amp or two when it's off. Maybe I'll try one of the 'master control" surge arresters to see if will shut off the subwoofer, before I get another one. Anyway, when you turn on or off the computer, the monitor and speakers come on or off with it. Nice.

William: Since you've had the 9040 for a week now, could you please be more specific and give us some details about what you have experienced? Does it do a great job of upscaling non-hd material to 1080p? I plan on buying one, but need to hear from someone how it performs when hooked up to an HDTV and/or Home theater system.? I would appreciate any additional information you can provide so I can learn a little more prior to pulling the trigger on this a/v receiver. Thank a lot William.

I bought a Sony STRDG920 receiver recently and I can confirm that it does turn itself on and off depending on the TV's state. Though it may depend on whether or not you have a Sony lcd tv connected to it. I'd test this out myself but the Sony Bravia is the only lcd tv I have!In case you wanted to know my setup consists of:- Sony STRDG920 Receiver- Sony Bravia XBR4 (40") - Cable tv is connected directly to the tuner. Sound output goes to the receiver.- Sony BDP-S350 Blu-Ray Player (HDMI)- Xbox360 (HDMI)- Nintendo Wii (Component)- Sony Playstation 2 (Component) I bought a Sony STRDG920 receiver recently and I can confirm that it does turn itself on and off depending on the TV's state.

I'm not sure how it works... but when I switch channels my receiver shows how it adjusts such as -3db or +2 db to even it out. There's also 3 kinds of night mode: low, medium, and high that could also help.Actually I just looked at it... it says "Dialog Norm" then it lists the dB adjustment.Edit: I finally had a chance to look around at it. I guess it is only on the 876 and 906. I guess I never realized the volume difference since most of the time I skip commercials since I use a DVR. Sorry for the trouble man.

ANY info or input on properly setting up ZONE 2 on any Onkyo receiver would be helpful. I cannot get sound from my outdoor speakers. Volume control on receiver when in Zone 2 reads 00 and will not adjust. HELP!

In my opinion, one has to determine whether the product will work within the actual limits of the product specifications. The answer is that the product I received seems to be very sensitive as numerous times my AMP has shut off due to an overloading factor. The manufacturer suggests putting the 'volume' of the AMP on low and the device on high for each speaker and then turn up the volume to one's listening preference - which might help with not overloading the 'system'. I am impressed with the ability to turn what set of speakers on and off, but not yet convinced that the product offers enough volume options for each of the speaker sets. Hope this helps.

Just thought I'd let you people know I just got my 40" Sony XBR4 hooked up and I couldn't hear the fans. I watched an entire Blu-ray movie and a little bit of regular TV programming and yet still no fan noise. Then I turned the Input to an unused one so I was sure no sound would be produced from the speakers to check the fans... still, completely silent. Maybe I got lucky... or maybe Sony fixed the problem by the time I ordered mine. Dunno.

If I turn it off, my TV (RCA) will not sound. I put it in Standby mode (and then "off" in this mode), the TV sounds on its own speakers. I imagine with Sony Bravia TV the experience should be better

Pinkerton - Thanks so much for the information! I've found another solution for the TV. But now I'm looking into upgrading to HD radio and definitely considering the Zvox 325 now that I know the audio input specs. Thanks again! Cheers!

There is a s/w level control on the lower half of the remote. Press the right arrow until desired level. I have mine at the max; 8. I to was slightly disappointed at the volume, however, I found that moving the subwoofer to a different location made a huge difference. I have the port facing one wall and the sub the other in the corner of my home. I also found a noticeable difference when facing the port to the open room. When you disconnect the sub, you will notice how much it really puts out. If you are looking for ground shaking bass, this is not the system for you. It's enough to enjoy theater quality sound.Hope this helps. There is a s/w level control on the lower half of the remote. Press the right arrow until desired level. I have mine at the max; 8.

It was agift for my dad,so Idon't have it in front of me. But I'll do what Ican for you. Go to the settings on the menu. Look for audio settings or speaker settings. There is a menu for speaker levels. Adjust levels too your liking. Usual settings are 0 for left and right fronts. 0 for center and 0 for both surround. I set it at +2 for center and +2 or 3 for surround speakers.Play with your remote. Don't be afraid to explore the menus or settings. The only way to learn is by trail and error. It took me about an hour to adjust all the settings to my liking. I'll play a blu-ray section over and over until I get it where I like it. That's part of the fun of it.

Mine has been almost flawless. My guess is you are on the threshold of the 'sense' of on or off. We put ours on a receiver and it worked great for a week. Then we turned on HDMI pass through so we could watch a device with tv picture and sound, no surround sound. This 'pass through' had just enough power that it triggered the on/off and all our extra devices stayed powered up. You might plug in something with lower power consumption (or higher) and see if it stays on or off with no sound. The click is probably the relay powering up the other outlets.
