I've been using my Denon AVR 1602 for 12+ years. It has been dependable, and though lacking in the latest bells and whistles, is fit for purpose.
I mostly use it in lieu of the crappy speakers on my Samsung TV, but put it through it's paces during BluRay viewing sessions.
Tonight, whilst watching The Bourne Identity with my son, the receiver shut itself off 4 - 5 times. Typically it was at louder portions, but I've had volume louder in the past, and never experienced this.
We felt it was some sort of "volume overload" and would turn back on at lower volume, then crank it a bit when the action transitioned to quieter portions (like dialogue).
Would really like to hold on to this unit, but was wondering if this is a common issue and what if anything can be done about it.
That unit is right at the end, and actually a little beyond its expected lifespan.
All thoughts / opinions appreciated.
