My AVR 120 receiver is also shutting off and I have read the one member replaced his electrolytic capacitors on the surround amp board. I've opened up my receiver, but I am wanting to know how to replace those electrolytic capacitors? Thanks!
If the caps are thru hole rather than surface mounted it should be easy for you.
Make sure cap is properly discharged>>caps are kind of like the 9volt batteries>>> a positive lead and a negitive lead...you need soldering skills.
get some >>solder wick and a soldering iron and some solder... heat up contact point with iron while wick is between iron and lead of cap....wick will soak up the solder.........

Why does everybody want to start with surgery instead of triage? Perhaps it would be better to diagnose the problem instead of just imitating what might have worked for someone else. You could end up making it worse or wasting time and money. Under what conditions does it shut itself off? Does it give an indication why? Have you referred to the manual under Troubleshooting? Was it subjected to stress just prior to this starting? Disconnect the speakers. Try again.
The unit shuts off about 60 seconds after it's turned on at any time during the day, so it's cool, not overheated. There is no indication as far as a code or something across the panel. I have disconnected the speakers, but to no avail, the problem persist. It used to shut off randomly after a couple of hours of use, but has gotten progressively worse, shutting off every 60 seconds.
I had read another member with the same issue who had unplugged the connections from the surround amp board from the main amp board which then stopped the unit from switching off. This is the same result I have achieved, but when I plug the surround board back into the main board, the problem persist. This is why I thought I would continue to try his solution of replacing the 15 Electrolytic Capacitors.
Thanks for your reply and any assistance is greatly appreciated.
