George Simmons Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I've never personally had the problem, but given the wide assortments of experiences we have here I don't doubt someone can help you. Could it be an Islamic receiver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdowns Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Can you be more specific by what you mean when you say "the receiver shuts down." Do you mean the receiver powers off? That's a receiver problem.Or perhaps the receiver is on but no sound is coming out of the speakers? That could be a receiver problem or perhaps there is no sound being SENT to the receiver so of course, no sound is going to come out.When "the receiver shuts down" unplug the computer from the receiver and put a pair of headphones in the PC. Do you hear music then? Definitely a receiver problem.Or when "the receiver shuts down" does that mean that no sound is coming out of the PC? Is your animation sequence still running? Lights still responding?This problem shouldn't be too hard to isolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 pdowns,has given a lot of good questions to help clear up what you are saying about the receiver shutting down.I now have a question, have you ever used these speakers with this receiver. It used to be that 8 ohm speakers were the norm. Now days one can get speakers anywhere from 4 ohms to 16 ohms. I used to sell stereo systems many years ago. I know that some of the good stereo receivers has a sensor on the heat sink that would shut down the amplifier in the case that something is causing the finials to over heat. So, I am wondering if there is a mis-match between the output of the receiver and the speakers. Or is there something that has caused the speakers to appear to have a different impedance.Then too I might be all wet and the answer is within pdowns questions.

Guest Don Gillespie Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Yes the reciever defintly shuts down it powers off completly I first thought it was because it was pluged into a power bar but I pluged in directly to the wall as for the speakers I purchased the Bose outdoor speakers I think I agree with you I also think this is a reciever problem I had the guys over that sold me the unit and of course nothing happened as soon as he pulled out of the driveway the reciever powered off I think I will take it back and get a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Don Gillespie Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The speakers I have are the Bose 151 here is the technical informationCompatibility with amplifiers or recievers rated 10 to 100 watts per channel at 4 to 8 ohms50W IEC continuous power handling at 6ohmstemperature extremes -40F to 158Fthese are the enviromental speakers from Bose for outdoor use they are protected under my soffit line all speaker wires are conected correctlyI hope this gives you enough information I am taking all this right from the owners guide book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ok, well it was just a thought. I am curious about one thing. How do you, or the receiver on its own power back up again. Does the receiver come back on its own if allowed to sit for a bit. Or do you have to press the power button again? And if so, can you do it within a minute or less? Or do you have to let it sit for a bit before it will respond to you pressing the ON button?I see that you are taking the unit back and trading it in for another or different unit. So, my above questions will not help fix it. But I am curious about your answers to the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Don Gillespie Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 As soon as it powers off I can go in and manually push the power button to turn it on again I can do this almost imediatly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iresq Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 That receiver should be more than capable of handling those speakers. I agree, bad unit. Return it if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it.Never thought of that, might not be THE answer, but sure is a possibility. And when strange things happen. It can very well be a strange solution. And this is right up there with the best. Good suggestion Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
