Guest Don Gillespie Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 who is the receiver guru I have a Yamaha RX797 Reciever it shuts down because it is overheating I think I have everything hooked properly here are some pices give me your feed back Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Don Gillespie Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Speaker wires i believe are hooked up right Iam trying to figuree out why she heats up and turns itself off here is a shot of the impedence switch I just changed it to A or B on the 6 min using Bose speakers this is driving me nuts came home last night and the reciever was off.

De Trommelslager Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I take a stab... And with the assumption this worked previously.What is the impedance of the speakers? How many do you have attached to each channel? How high is the output gain (volume)?Couple of things to look at; speaker wire for any sings of damage. There could be a bad spot in a wire causing problems. Also make sure you have good connections at the speakers. A bad connection changes the impedance of the circuit.

Guest Don Gillespie Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Ok as a complete moron that I am, this is what was happening, last month when my wife decided to repaint the office, I unhooked everything and of course who would label the right and left speaker wires, I am a man, we make no mistakes, ya right hooked everything up couldn't figure out why the bass was so over powering didn't think anything of it untill I pissed around today and discovered my mistake what a difference two little wires make. I really enjoy feeling stupid for a couple of hours. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why was the bass so overpowering and why was she shutting down?Thanks,Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have one of the most intelligent receivers ever made... since it can tell the difference between a "left" speaker and a "right" speaker...Seems to me there might be more happening here than meets the eye.

D.T.DT the reciever is a Yamaha RX797 what I did was had the pure direct button engaged this would not let me controll any bass, treble, or balance with the speakers hooked up wrong the unit would over heat and shut down after reading the manual which I should have done two years ago I just plugged it in and pushed the buttons I was lucky i didn't blow the reciever up.

DownTown Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Don - just out of curiosity, how does the receiver know the left speaker from the right speaker? Aren't they both the same? Aren't they interchangable?D.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamS Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Only thing I could assume is either the gain is set way left or right to compensate for a diffrent speaker setup. If they are identical speakers the channel make no bearing on over heating as the channels are taking the same amount of power. Of course this is if the speakers are the same. If you have a diffrent speaker setup left and right and over loading one becuase of gains, once again a small speaker on left so gains are set higher to keep up with a larger speaker on right so .. . . . you know what this is already to long to explain the what ifs.Are the left and right channels the same speakers?
