Does the unit turn on at all now?. Is it a digital unit?. If so, try running it in 'Stereo bypass' mode using no digital processing. My Rotel receiver did the same thing but worked fine in bypass mode. It means that there is something wrong with the digital processing part of the unit. Rotel warrenties their units for 5 years and is repairing mine now as I speak.

#madmac the RB-1080 is an amp not a reciever.

Some more info would be nice, is the unit still working?

Did you add/remove/change any component or cabling before this happened?Does the Amp smell burnt?Was there smoke or sparks? More info needed.

im using an analogue rotel pre amp (dont have the product number handy) the rb-1080 turns on and off fine, it does not smoke or smell. the wiring has been the same a long time before this happened. it first happened in January with a different set of speakers. it was fine after, now its back.
