I got this used, but think I caused the problem. When I set it up, I stupidly plugged the multichannel audio outs from my BR player into the multichannel outs of the receiver instead of the ins.
When played, the receiver went into max volume that could not be turned down until it hit minimum. The unit got very hot.
It took a couple efforts to realize what I had done (bad lighting, bending over back of unit, reading upside down....) so machine repeated max volume and heating....
Now, the analog functions perfectly (including multichannel)...even DD downmixed to stereo functions fine....but whenever the digital format changes from either BR player (like from a promo in 2 channel to DD), or when I switch cable TV from a 2 channel to DD or back again, then I usually get a pop or two in the center channel, the audio stops for a couple seconds and then disappears altogether...if I turn unit off or go another station and back again, DD comes back, but then disappears again.
When I had issues with my Denon there was a method to reset the microprocessor....not just factory default resettings, but like rebooting a computer....anything like that on Rotel.
Any idea of fixes that don't involve shipping it in?
Thanks...I am really upset that I screwed this up....I can play in multichannel, which I have to for lossless anyway...but I want it to be fully functional.....thanks...
