I had this system yamaha htr-5830 hooked up at my old house with different speakers and it worked fine I could blast it as loud as I wanted-
now I have moved and hooked up different speakers - a set of 5 advent surround small bookshelf size speakers- and am using rca brand 16 gauge speaker wire and it can't turn it up near as loud before it shuts off- the way my yamaha is designed is to shut down to prevent damage or overheating when something is wrong with the speakers *typically it is when the positive and negative touch like one becomes disconnected and touches th other* that however is not the case now- everything is hooked up completely fine I have checked all connections- anyway when I turn the volume up or something loud happens during a game or movie it powers off- when I turn back on it says check speaker wires it is fine until I turn it up again- is this because the wire gauge is too small for the speakers? this is a good receiver and I know it can handle the speakers- would too small of a gauge of speaker wire cause this to happen?
any know how would help-
I know quite a bit about home theater but this is stumping me-I have never had anything like this happen before-
as for the troubleshooting goes I have checked the wires connecting the back of the speakers and where they connect to back of the receiver and everything is fine- also the speaker wire is brand new so I know that's not the problem- the speakers all sound good too at a low volume level-
thanks guys for all answers!
