Repair your receiver for the best performance.
Audio receivers are the brain of a home theater system. They are the hub for all devices being used and can even stream multimedia from a computer. The key role of an audio receiver is to make controlling a home theater easier, and any problems that interfere with that role can be fixed without the need of a technician.
Instructions
1. Turn off the power and let the audio receiver cool if it shuts off unexpectedly. Most audio receivers have built-in protection circuits that will turn off the receiver if the temperature is too high. Move the receiver into a more ventilated area.
2. Strip the speaker wire and connect banana plugs to it. Tighten the speaker terminals on the rear of the receiver and plug the banana plugs into the speaker terminal. This will prevent any loose wires from touching the back of the receiver, which will cause it to shut off.
3. Secure the rod antenna to the rear of the receiver in the "Wireless LAN" input and disconnect any LAN cables that are connected if the audio receiver is not accessing the wireless network. Press "Menu" or "Setup" on the remote, depending on the manufacturer.
4. Select "Manual Setup" then "Network Setup" to ensure that the network settings are correct, and allow the receiver to search for the network by choosing "Search." Move the receiver closer to the wireless router if necessary to connect to the signal easier.
5. Connect the setup microphone to the "Setup Mic" jack to access the "Auto Setup" screen to correct the speaker levels. Place the microphone at ear level in the room and make sure it is pointing straight up. Press "Menu" on the remote, then select "Auto Setup" to allow the receiver to begin the auto setup process.
