Aragorn Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Hi all, Home theater newbie here. I have the below setup: RP-8000FX2 RP-504C RP-502S pair RP-500SA pair PL-200ii subwith Denon AVR-S760H which supports 75w dual channel power output. The receiver has two issues 1. During setup test , when the front right is played all three front speakers output the sound. This does not happen for the other speakers. Might be a receiver issue as per Denon support. 2. When I play a YouTube Dolby demo, after a bit into the demo the receiver shuts off and says speaker protection activated. I checked all speaker wires and they are not shorted. Are the speakers too high power hungry for this receiver? Any suggestions are appreciated here. Edited October 23, 2021 by Aragorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe remove 2 speakers? I'm guessing your running 7.1? Try 5.1Sent from my KB2007 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I would triple check all wiring. Are you bi amping any speakers? If not, are all the bi wire jumpers securely in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 Will recheck the wires when I get a chance. I am not bi amping, the wire jumpers seem fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) The good news is I removed all the wires at the receiver and reconnected then. Both issue 1 and 2 are resolved by this. New problem: the right front speakers tweeter is not outputting any sound the left works fine. Tried switching the cables connecting the wire to high input of the speaker same issue!!

billybob Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 2 minutes ago, Aragorn said: How do I troubleshoot the tweeter? You could remove speaker and do a continuity test with multimeter or, remove other tweeter that is working and swap to other speaker to test crossover to good tweeter. If works there no crossover damage apparent. If continuity test to bad tweeter fails, likely just need new diaphragm. Simple troubleshooting.

Aragorn Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Won't removing void warranty? Also am afraid I would spoil something. Also these are brand new would expect them to work flawlessly 🙁 Another poster had similar issue and he pulled the tweeter.. assume this means he removed and put it back..

I hadn't got that far in my thinking. Unplug overnight and hope for a better day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Just realized your topic. Yes, protection mode. Could unplug and switch speaker wires and see if tweeter works. If so, lull out your Denon manual and hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragorn Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 Latest update the dealer is shipping a new tweeter. Seems warranty is not void if I install it myself. Well keep this post updated on results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
