Denon X6700H audio cutting out and changing inputs after upgrade?!!

[olddog]

I have a X6700H I have been very happy with for 5 years. About a month ago there was a upgrade and I took it. Everything has been fine until about a week ago and the unit keeps changing audio formats and I went in to reset it back to factory and now after speaker set up where it sees and test my fronts when it comes to doing Audessy it says I have no front speakers. I can jack with it and get it running then do something like raise the volume and it goes into silent mode again. Boat Anchor? If so what else to buy?

Upgrade or a firmware update? Maybe try several microprocessor resets in a row.....

It sounds like it has an internal problem. I would try up to three resets and see if that solves it. it is only five years old and that is the age my AV 7705 failed. The service center said the two board it needed were NLA, which is a disgrace, so it went to the recycling center, and its replacement 7706 gave trouble after 3 months, so it is back for warranty repair. However, I have bought and AV 10 and I am very pleased with it. It has a much better build quality. On the whole the build quality of these AVRs and AVPs is in general is not very good in my opinion.

Let is know what happens. If you can't get it working try and send it in for repair and document the response from a Denon authorized service center.

You bought it brand new?

Well, if it is broken, at least you had 5 years.

I think 5-10 YR is about all we can hope. Beyond that is just extra.

Generally as a consumer doing multiple microprocessor resets is the best you can do other than taking it in for analysis/repair....

Forgot to ask, the fronts don't operate off an external amp, do they? A reset would need you to go back into amp assignment for that....
