i have had a rotel set up for the past 3 months and have been fairly happy with its perfomance i yesterday picked up hum in the right channel which was previously not there before so i check the interconnects and the speaker wire to make sure everything was connected solid, that didnt help so i changed inteconects and that didnt work, put back the old ones and changed channels around, all that did was move the humm from one channel to the next, turned it off and on again but this time amp went dead, the only light that goes on is the light to indicate that the amp is on and there isnt that clicking sound where i turn it on on, have i broken it :cry: So i unplgged everything and put it in the closet connected my realiable ONKYO 501E.

Was the unit on while you were plugging and un-plugging things? That could have caused some issues.
Of course when you you say the hiss moved from one channel to the other, that usually indicates the original problem wasn't with the amp.
Did you buy the amp used? If so it might not have every had the updates applied to keep it from blowing fuses easily. Chances are it's just a couple of fuses blown inside the unit.

I just bought a used RMB-1095 from a user on Audiogon. I powered up the unit and right off the bat the center channel fault light went on. I replace all of the fuses and all seemed well.
I was watching a movie to test out the system and after deciding that all was well paused the film... -
