Why does my surround sound receiver keep turning off?
Hear this out loudPauseIf a receiver is not getting enough current, it will turn itself off. If your receiver shares a wall outlet with another high-current appliance (e.g. refrigerator, air conditioner, heater, or vacuum) the receiver may shut itself off when there is insufficient current.
Is the Yamaha rx-a2000 a good receiver?
Aesthetically, the RX-A2000 is a nice looking receiver. Of course it’s the standard brushed black box that so many receivers are, but I find the understated elegance of Yamaha’s new “A” line to be quite pleasing.
How does Ypao work on a Yamaha rx-a2000?
According to Yamaha, YPAO on the RX-A2000 does equalize the subwoofer. However, the video processing is applied globally to all inputs; it cannot be applied independently to individual inputs. Thank you Scott!

Why does my Yamaha receiver keep shutting down?
Yamaha receivers (like many) will shut off/go into protect mode if there is a short or if a speaker is not properly connected. And, as Robert noted above, they will also shut down if there is not enough available current to properly power the amp during loud passages. You need to determine the reason your receiver is shutting down.

Is the Yamaha xx30 a good audio receiver?
The low end Yamaha’s (signified by the xx30) aren’t known for having very strong amp sections. Other than that I really don’t have any idea’s. Un-fortunately you might just have a bad receiver . I purchased the 5 speaker Bose system.
