RSX-1056 keeps going on standby

[VikingP]

Hi,

I am having a problem with my RSX-1056, and was wondering if anyone ever had a similar problem. I searched in other threads, but couldn't find anything like my situation.
When I turned on the RSX-1056 from standby today, it turned on for about 1 second, and then went back to standby mode. I tried it a few times after that, and still the same thing. I tried turning it off from the switch on the back, or completely unplugging it for a few minutes, but it still does the same thing when I try turning it on.
Nothing has changed from the last time it was working, and there are no shorts in any of the speaker cables. The dealer doesn't seem to know what it can be, so I am hoping that someone might have an idea, since sending it out for repair would really be a pain (not to mention being without it for some time :cry: ) .

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Paul

Maybe one of your speakers itself has a short?

Have you tried powering it up with no speakers connected at all?

Yup, I unplugged all the speakers from the receiver, except for the fronts which are on separate amplifiers, but it kept doing the same thing.
It's as if it enters a sort of protection mode and sets itself to standby, but I have no idea why. Everything seems in order, and there is nothing abnormal about the OSD (no error message or anything of the sort) for that one second that it's on.

Perhaps it's temperature related. Is your receiver in a well ventilated area?

If you feel adventurous, you can open the case and check for blown fuses.

Peace and blessings,

The receiver has about 3 inches of air on top of it, which would seem like enough.
As for a fuse, I don't think it's a fuse probelm, since it does come on for a second. Would openning the case void my warranty with Rotel?

Thanks.

Paul,

I don't believe so, but before you open it, I would contact Rotel tech support (1-978-664-3820), and explain the problem, perhaps the can resolve the issue over the phone.

Peace and blessings,

Hi Azeke,

Thank you for their phone number and for your help. I will call them tomorrow and see what they say.
Hopefully it's nothing major.
