With the volume at 40(
Shutdown will be caused by overvoltage on the input or shortcircuit/low resistance on the output. Remove the speakers one by one at the same volume level. If the problem persists with all the speakers removed the unit is faulty and needs to be sent in for repair.Did you change or reconfigure/rewire the outputs/speakers recently?
If the resistance(impedance) on the output is too low it will cause the unit to shut down. Wiring additional speakers incorrectly will cause this. If a speakers' voice coil is starting to fail you will get the same result. Remove one speaker at a time until the unit no longer shuts down in order to identify the channel that is causing the problem.
Optical cable is pluged in but the unit wont
the problem is that you need to select the source on the remote of the unit and then select setup, you will be able to change the source from analog to digital (i don't remember the setting) and voila! it should work

Check the capacitors around the u-com. And also the supply capacitors for the display. I can help if u can provide me the model no. and also what kind of experience u have in electronics repair and the tools u have.
Cheers.

your system needs to be servicedtake it to a tech and have him clean it up.
My RCA home theater system,
Generally speaking, an amp attempts to protect itself from heat, shorts, overloads and operator exuberance by refusing to turn on or stay on.
Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output or marginally low impedance loading by the speakers; and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.
You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.
If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.
If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'naked'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced and competent hands-on tech.

Can I burn a CD from a tape on an RCA Model # 8530?
The RCA Model # 8530 appears to be a stereo receiver, which means it does not have the capability to directly burn a CD from a tape.
To convert a tape to a CD format, you would typically need a separate device called a cassette deck with a built-in CD recorder or a computer with the appropriate hardware and software.
If you have access to a cassette deck with a CD recorder, you can connect the RCA Model # 8530's tape output to the input of the cassette deck and then use the cassette deck's CD recording function to transfer the audio from the tape to a blank CD.
If you have a computer, you can use an analog-to-digital converter to connect the RCA Model # 8530's tape output to the computer's audio input. You can then use audio recording software on the computer to capture the audio from the tape and save it as a digital file. Once you have the digital file, you can use CD burning software to create a CD from the captured audio.
It's important to note that the specific steps and equipment required may vary depending on the exact models and setup you have. It's recommended to consult the user manuals for your devices and, if needed, seek additional guidance from the manufacturer or a knowledgeable audio technician.
