hey neo,

not sure if this would help, but if it seems to be a problem with AVR, could you try to reset the microprocessor ??

instructions i found on the guide :

a) turn the power using <POWER>
b) Press <POWER> while simultaneously pressing <SPEAKER A> and <SPEAKER B>
c) Once the display starts flashing at intervals of about 1 second, release the two buttons.

regds,
 
You can connect fronts in surr socket of AVR & check if same problem repeats.(connect surr spk to frt socket)

If frts ar ok then prob with surr if they distort @ the same time.
If surrounds are not full ranged & if you keep setting 'LARGE' ,Chance is that it can get damaged.I have seen this problem with jamo surr with Onkyo 505 Demo (LORD of the RINGS)

Other chance that output stage may got damanged.Try factory settings(restore)
In Onkyo,there is one way which gives factory setting.
(press & hold VIDEO 3 & Standby button same time)
 
Is the receiver connected through an inverter or UPS?
If yes, take it to the service center. The digital circuits are damaged.

Thanks,
Sharad

Thanx for replay,but if i disconnect surround speaker then that sound come from front SP.

I think i have solved my problem ,two days back i have installed two small fans inside receiver and thank god there is no any kind of distortion or sound from speakers,may be there is problem with ventilation in my new furniture, thanx for helping.

My setup is looks like this ,i have changed location of receiver to cpu,

Are you playing at normal volumes and does it happen at certain point when watching movies or listening to music? It appears that your AVR may be clipping due to certain impedance levels.

What are your speaker specs?
 
I have found similar problem with Onk 330.
The centre ch get distorted 10min later I start watching movies.
At lower vol it even stops working for moment & starts after vol is raised.

I did servicing & engineers told me signal even after 1hr run also recorded clear on machine & spks too.I upgraded Tan cetre(90w).
Now I am finding if it is the spk or the amp.But same happens rearly with surr Rt too(ols spk)

*************************************************
YES. it happens at certain times only, wen listenin to music.....after tat distortion...thers no sound from the speakers at all for some time...wer as the avr is still on.. i 'm havin JAMO S606.(5.0)
 
Even I am experiencing the same problem for almost a year with AVR1508...when i contacted Profx last year, they said they wont do servicing for AVRs not bought from them..I bought it in dubai....so profx has started do serviciing of ext products????

With Onk,it plays fine for initial 10min ,then centre starts distorting,did servicing from Onk service centre ,they told signal is seen ok on metre,
still prob is persisting,they told they will visit Home soon.Lets see.

I listen at moderate(30level)still the prob.
 
i called up an engineer for denon....he said tat the ventilation should not be compromised n e wer.>>>>> then he reduced all my equalizer settings for each individual spkers....since after tat(2weeks) , i havent heard that distortion again.

Yeah I hve tried reducing the EQ levels...but nothing happend....also I dont hav ventilation problem...n even my system doesnt get heated up...

Sometimes I am not getting any prob with DTS track....but I always get distortion/cracking noise with DD, DD PLII, DTS NEO 6 etc...if I set my fronts as small....no sound at all...If i set my fronts as large...then sound is being output....If run DD and then DTS...then I get prob with DTS also.....I am totally helpless....Since i bought this in Dubai....profx is not ready to solve my problem(I checked with them last yr)....

If anybody works with Profx chennai and member of this forum...pls help me...

Re: Big problem in denon AVR1612

Running with one HDMI to an older Toshiba LCD TV.
Experiencing problem with the front right speaker...on and off crackling noise..could this be because the TV does not support ARC technology?
in Thailand so the store I brought it from do not have a clue what I'm talking about and no idea what the problem is ! Feeling prettty stupid and angry right now...
 
A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
