    Hiya roryoss,

    Welcome to the forums ;)

    I noticed you posted the SAME question in the Home Theater PC area, when properly it should have been posted in the Receivers and Amplifiers section!!

    But now to the IMPORTANT bit...
    As a Newbie you would have seen a splash screen urging you to read the rules BEFORE posting.

    The rules Do advise against cross-posting the questions across multiple threads.

    Your thread in Receivers and Amplifiers is here:

    Can everyone please follow the link.

    Cheers.

    OK,

    Obvious questions first:

    What has changed, connection wise/input wise, since the last time it worked correctly (bet you did some plugging or swapping around!)??

    Have Fun...

    Hiya,

    IF you have changed nothing
    AND the signal input has not been changed
    THEN the unit is probably in need of repair.

    You may be looking at a repair bill.

    A tip: Local Colleges and University Electronics Departments may be a good place to try and get a cheap repair...

    Good Luck...

    thanks for the help and advice ,checked fuse it had a bulge in it 6.3 amps 125v, local radio shack only had 5amp 125v,so i used it and could crank the vol up to about <60> before overload !!! so looks like until i find the right fuse keep it at the speed limit<55> should be ok!!! they did have 6.3 250v fuses but said v should not be changed but the amp could vary!!any confirmation on this?????? again thanx!!

    I had this same problem, and figured out there was a short in one of the speakers. switched out that speaker and can now crank it.
