Should I say Goodbye?

To know whether your AVR had circuit protection or not you can contact Mr.BALAJI service engineer ,an excellent guy ,at Onkyo show room, Ameerpet.

If you have access to someone who repairs audio equipment then might make sense to aks him to test out. the point memntioned by vivek make sense as it could be the driver OR the crossover.

One way I have heard for checking this is to use a 1.5V battery and connect it in instants across the speaker terminals ie it should be on off on off kind of a connection else you may burn the coils.

if you hear sounds from the speaker, it is ok. and the problem is most probably in the crossover circuit

Krishnaji,

Thank you for the contact details. But I think there is no problem with my AVR. Both left and right channels are working fine as I've tested them by interchanging the speakers. I guess I've to keep in mind what Vivek has mentioned while interchanging the midrange drivers.

Thats fine . This was clarified in your earlier post . I also observed from one of your post that the AVR had glown red light before the shut down of the speaker. That indicates this AVR had some sort of problem indicator and to know what is it and how to predict similar accidents from the behavior of this AVR an ONKYO srvice engineer can only tell . That is why I advised you to approach the Onkyo guy.

Yes..you are spot on..I'll have to confirm why AVR's power led(red) blinked for 5 seconds and turned off...probably that is protection circuit in action..I'll find out and put the details on this thread.

I've done what Vivek has suggested. Many thanks to him.:clapping:

The problem was with Woofer_A(Speaker_A). I have interchanged the woofers between speakers A and B and checked if Crossover(Speaker_A) is good. I have taken few snaps and recorded a video of the test. Crossover(Speaker_A) is good as it drove Woofer_B(Speaker_B), while Woofer_A(Speaker_A) failed to produce any sound when connected to Crossover(Speaker_B). Hence, the Woofer_A(Speaker_A) is the culprit and will be replaced soon. Video is self explanatory.

Thanks to Vivek, Krishna, Arj, Pdhanwada and entsurgeon for your inputs. I am kinda relieved that its only woofer and nothing more.

So I will not say goodbye to my speakers:yahoo:

in a month or 2..I'll fit in the new midrange woofers..at no charge

 

[Kevian]

Hellooo...please say something people...atleast punch in something for the efforts I took in taking snaps and recording video...few words would satisfy this poor soul

Hi Venkat,

I have clicked "Thanks".. Hope this will satisfy your poor soul...
