I had a Denon receiver for a couple of years and I noticed the left amp was not working. After some research I determined it would be better to buy a new receiver. I have had that for about a year. This past week I noticed the left amp on that receiver is gone also. I find that to be very unusual. I have had receivers for up to 20m years and never had a problem like this. Now it happens on two quality receivers. My question. I use a Bose speaker system where all of the leads from the receiver go to the sub. then out to the speakers. Could the sub be causing the amp to go out.
Follow Ups:
Denon's are very unreliable, I had my 5600 DTS's go out twice. Once, the entire unti would simply go into proctect mode. Second time, one of the front channels died. I decided at this point it wasn't worth fixing again.
Now I'm using it only for the rear/center channels, and for DTS/DD decoding. I'm more interested in stereo anyway, so it's useful in this limited role. I will, however, never buy anything from Denon again, and I'll certainly prevent my friends from making the same mistake. Vote with your $'s.KP
I have used a Denon 2700 for a few years now without a complaint. I have accidentally touched the wires to each other before and the amp just goes into a protection mode and starts right back up. I have noticed that the amp runs fairly hot. This could be made worse by poor ventilation or other compnents stacked on top of the unit. You might want to check your wire, it you have used a small gauge wire to make long runs, you may have a problem there.
I've seen this happen to a few friends of mine. What the cause was in both situations, was a crossed speaker wire. The positive wire was just barely touching the negative.You might want to check continuity on all of your speaker wires.
Just my 2 cents.
