I noticed recently that the volume is being turned up(sometimes 30dbs) on it's own at strange times. Either I have some creepy ghost in my house or something is seriously wrong. I'm running my HK as a pre/pro for my XPA-5. Of course this just started happening days after I sold my Marantz receiver. Any help out there? I believe I'm on the most current firmware, but I cannot confirm that right now.

maseline_98,
IIRC, H/K had this same issue on a previous series or two. Sorry, I cannot offer much more advice than, try contacting them about it."I have come here, to chew bubblegum and kickass. And I'm all out of bubblegum!!!" -
Hi Maseline!Originally posted by maseline_98
I`ve had the same problem with two H/K integrated receivers. The older one worked perfectly couple of years until one day it just pumped up the volume to the MAX and almost broked my speakers!! I just thought that maybe it wont do that again, but i was wrong...luckily i became more alert and caught it on next time and shut down the amplifier before it reached the max volume. Then I decided to replace the broken amp and i went to the nearest hifi market and purchased a brand new Harman/Kardon AVR...(something, can`t remember models cause it has been like 2 years) ...and what a mistake that was!! Same annoying problem with this new model too! I went back to the hifistore and they send amp to the warranty repairing and that tooked something like three months. After three months and couple angry phone calls i got my H/K back and gues what? I installed my repaired H/K to my brandnew 5.1 speaker set and everything went ok for few weeks until it happend again! Im happy that the amp was on stereo mode and only my new main speakers got MAX power for 10-15 seconds before i shut down the amp. Next day i´m in the hifi store once again refunding H/K and I changed it to Marantz SR5600. Marantz has worked beatifully for two years and now we are expecting two new family members from the post: Rotel RSP-1098 and Rotel RB-1572
and the Marantz has already found a new loving home.
Hope you find a solution for your H/K problem my advise to you is to change the manufacturer asap before your speakers are ruined.
Friendly greetings,

Hi,
Well, I decided to go with the Marantz DV 9500. Problem is, that it only has HDMI connection and the Marantz SR 8500 receiver does not have HDMI, but has DVI. I found an adaptor that converts HDMI Male to DVI Female.

My Marantz SR7500 turns off after 5mins when I power on after sitting overnite. When I turn it back on it works fine.
Is this a repair waiting to happen?
Thanks, ed -
I've been using my Marantz SR8400 for about an year now and absolutely love it, but I have a HK AVR630 laying around(never even hooked it up b4), which I was going to use for my ping pong room.
I hooked up the HK and immediately noticed a better bass management system compared to my... -
When I got the email with Trond-Erik's new Pro-Pro, something about that rang a bell. The bell was related to an AV Forums post by a guy with high sensitivity speakers comparing the Benchmark AHB2 amplifier and the M22 and some other amplifiers. One of his bugaboos was output noise, and noise that could...
