JP1 Remotes

[boyfood]

My problem is with my receiver which is a Pioneer VSX-D710S. I bought it over 4 years ago. Anyway, it seemed to be working fine until I didn't play it for over 5 months, waiting until new ceiling speakers were installed. Well, they got installed and the installers turned the Pioneer on to show me how good the new Klipsch speakers sounded. But, after they left, I plugged my iPOD into the AUX and then cranked up the volume. About 2 minutes later, the music stopped, the LED read OVERLOAD and then the receiver turned itself off. Next day, I turned it back on to FM radio, kept the volume low - it stayed on longer, like 6 minutes, but again OVERLOAD appeared. Does this mean my fan's not working?

I don't have an answer for you, but am very interested in what you find out, since I have the exact same receiver and one never knows when such knowledge may prove useful.

First step: disconnect the speakers and see if it will stay on (with the volume control at a moderate to high level.

If it still shuts off (expect a longer time till shutdown) then something is wrong with the amp and service will be required. If there is an internal fan you should be able to tell by either sound or air movement if it's running.

If it stays on then there is a chance that the speakers are wired in such a way that the impedence to the amp is incorrect. You should also check that all of the speakers are working (one or more of them could be shorted out)
