Hi all. I've got a denon x2300w avr which I bought second hand from here a few months back, seller was good and honest so no dramas there. However I seem to have come across a snag.
After an hour of use (ish) it puts itself into protection mode with the power light flashing every 2 seconds and eventually reboots.
After doing it once the ace will persist on doing it again more frequently until it's unbearable and resort to powering off and using my tv speakers.
I have looked around at trouble shooting and firstly re-terminated and confirmed I had wired my Yamaha speakers correctly. Still problem persisted.
Removed amp from tv stand and used a desk fan to try and cool the amp and all is well but not ideal, so I think it's an overheating issue. My tv stand is not enclosed and I would have thought there is plenty of room for air to dissipate. See attached image.
I followed denons instructions to master reset the unit after writing down and using my old settings but again the same snag.
Denons authorised repairers are in Norwich or Middlesex and having spoken to Norwich team, (I forgot the company name) but am loathed to send it off for a long and maybe expensive repair.
My question is, does anyone know what the most likely culprit for this failure could be? Something that me, a fluke and a soldering iron could diagnose / fix relatively easily?
Or secondly, anyone in the market for a used, boxed denon x2300w which goes into protection mode?
Thanks all.
