the_fliz1 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 this maybe the wrong forum for this but i didnt know where to post this. randomly my reciver started cutting out. I know its not the chord and ive tried re wiring it it still is choppy even on a radio feed. every other second it goes silent. Any guesses? It could be a heat issue. Does it start out ok and then start progressively getting worse or does it do it from the moment it is turned on? There are numerous internal components that if they went out could cause this problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jc4prez Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 it just suddenly started doing it last night. It now does it from the moment its turned on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 does it turn off all the way or does the sound stop coming out? If it won't come on, it could be the power supply in the receiver. If it is on, but no sound coming out, the amp that drives the speakers could be dead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the amp is dead is it a replacedable part or is this thing scarp metal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 If the amp is dead is it a replacedable part or is this thing scarp metal? These days? It depends on how expensive your amp is. If its in the $100-200 range, it's probably scrap metal. A decent repair shop, if you can even find one, is going to charge you $75 to open it and look at it (in NYC at least). I think they are usually fixable. The question is: is it worth what it will cost you to fix it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Based on the overall price/value of the receiver, it could be totaled or repairable. If you're a guru and the thing cost a ton of money, it might be smart to get it fixed. If it's just an average model, I'd consider replacing it. You can get a pretty awesome model these days for $300-400. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I defintly don't have that kind of money to throw out on another one. The speakers have wire inputs; and i've really just been using them to play stuff of my computer. Anyway I could rig those speakers straight up to thec omputer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Anyway I could rig those speakers straight up to thec omputer?you need power to drive them. I would suggest just picking some computer speakers if that's all you're using them for. I got this pair for my dad and my sister for Xmas last year. They sound really damn good for the money.
