|   onkyo 696 tripping problem | prashanth_sharma
Feb 25, 2002 11:45 AM | | hi,
Has anyone experienced the Onkyo 696 tripping (displays PROTECT on the display and shuts off) when the volume is turned loud (into the mid 30s) ?
I have it hooked up to the Ascend acoustics 5.1 pkg. The individual speaker levels (at the receiver) are set to:
- Mains +4
- Center +12
- Sorrounds +8 and
- Sub 0.
It trips at about 33 (volume level) when running in the 'All channel stereo' mode and can go higher (i did not try far enuf) when running in 2 channel stereo mode. The volume level was fairly loud but not REALLY loud, considering its rated at 100 watts per channel i expected it to handle these levels with ease.
Any explanation/solution to the problem ?
thx, prashanth |
