Overload protection I have a technics sa-gx550 reciever that when played the overload protection light comes on and shuts down the system. you can restart it and in five minuets it shuts down again

wich is low imp in my technics sa-gx550 please tell me?

TV is not customarily a sound source. It is a video destination. Get your TV-related audio to the receiver from the same places the TV gets it - each source device's audio outputs.

if it doesn't shut down playing the other inputs check the rails the laser rides on there may be dirt/hard grease stopping the sled. or the may be a power overload caused by a faulty cd player and you system is going into the protect...

Technics? check for bad solder connections on the voltage regulators attached to the heatsink. some models have an acess panel you can cut out on the bottom of the receiver. you will have to find a screw or two to re-attach the panel. it could also be a problem with the cooling fan.

Good Luck

you cant remove the overload light. it does that as a safty so you dont burn up the amp when its not being used properly. do u have a capacitor? are the speakers ohms and watts the same as the amp?

Ahh technics. Technics always had overheating problems, trust me. Every since they started, their amps would get so hot they would hurt to touch. The reason the fan is not coming on seams to be something inside the circuit board. I'm sure that technics could fix this. If the fan works out of the receiver, then it must not be the fan. ;P

I would maybe get a computer fan, and just put it on top of the receiver and turn it on, or send it in for fixing. Also, do you have to crank the volume to get the speakers to play at your volume, and does the impeadence match the receiver. Because you may be pushing the receiver too hard.

From the manual pg 27....... "The protection circuitry has functioned because the positive and negative speaker connection wires are "shorted," speaker systems with an impedance less than the indicated rated impedance of this unit are used or under severe use, such as loud volume, excessive power and in an excessively hot environment."

Im having the same problem with mine. The problem seems to have started after I placed a vcr on top of the unit. I am thinking that It may be getting too hot. But don't really know.
