ya now I am pissed. This thing will NOT stay on. Totally unreliable.. yes, it was at 8 ohm at all times. short in the board as you say.. Total BS. New product had issues the first week. There is NO way in Hell I would buy another piece of s___ Yamaha.
Just bam! shuts down. I have to take the remote and turn it on again and keep hitting different inputs such as "tuner" or "cd" or "dvd" or DTV/CBL" etc. and then magically it will stay on MAYBE.. .. for a time. Sometimes that won't even work. I have to unplug it. then play the input game. over and over.
$179 I paid for it. I'll get some real pleasure when I take a hammer to it.
That is a really cheap receiver. What did you expect for that money? Just return it and get another.
It does not matter what manufacturer you choose there will be a fault incidence. At that price bracket a lot of corners have to be cut. Yamaha are most at fault for offering that product at that price.
Its no different from the scandalous crib issue. Because we have a stupid society getting dumber by the day, and even stupider and irresponsible governance of big box stores we are strangling children.
The dumb public are having their wishes fullfilled by a cynical governing class. The result cribs with cheap Chinese plastic brackets, that a small child can break and then strangle themselves.
We shopped for a crib six months ago, and what was on offer in the big name stores was disgrace. The fact people actually buy this stuff appalls me.
I'm sorry, but if you think you can make a case, build switching circuits a tuner, preamp, digital converters, decoders five 100 watt amps and a power supply, ship it half way round the world sell it for under $200 and have it be any good, then you have some serious introspection time coming.
So you are at fault for buying it, and Yamaha for trying to build and distribute the junk.
