Receiver help

[Wendy]

Hi, I think I have fried my Sony receiver, but hope not maybe you can help. I was rewiring the speakers with the power on ( I know, very stupid) and I saw a flash of light from the receiver and lost all sound. The lights come on except for the part that says tv dvd tuner etc. I unplugged the unit for a few hours and have redone the speakers again but no luck. Is there a fuse that may have blown? How can I fix it?
Thanks

Yup, that's a no-no. Most likely, you've AT LEAST popped a fuse, if not more. You can open the case, find the fuse or fuses and replace them yourself, and then close the case and try it again, or just take the whole thing to a repair facility.

If you do play with it yourself, use extreme caution, don't touch anything inside you don't need to, and ABSOLUTELY unplug it first.
