My receiver won't turn on and the STANDBY indicator is flashing

Your receiver is in the "protection" mode.
Check that:
• The speaker system's impedance is not too low. See Chapter One of
the Connections and Setup Guide.
• The speaker wires are not short-circuited. Test the wires as follows to
find the shorted wire and replace it:
1 Turn off the receiver, disconnect the positive and negative speaker
wires of the RIGHT FRONT speaker from the receiver, and turn
the receiver back on.
2 If the STANDBY indicator stops flashing, replace this wire.
3 If the STANDBY indicator does not stop flashing, turn off the re-
ceiver, reconnect the speaker wires, and repeat the first step for the
next speaker.
4 Continue until you have isolated and replaced the shortedwire.
5 See Chapter One of the Connections and Setup Guide.
If none of the above solutions work, reset the microprocessor:
1. Turn the receiver off. (The Power button is OFF position.)
2. Press ON/STANDBY button while pressing and holding the Power
button.
The following settings are cleared:
• The device set as input (Tuner is selected by default)—see "How
Do I Operate Devices?" on page 35 of this manual.
• The volume setting (-48dB is selected by default)—see "Adjusting
the Volume" on page 11 of this manual.
• The tuner's receiving band (FM is selected by default)— see "Tuner"

• The tuner's frequency (87.5MHz is selected by default)— see
"Tuner" on page 57 of this manual
• The tuner's preset memory—you will need to reset your stored
radio stations (see Chapter Two of the Connections and Setup Guide)
