My surround system just started to have a problem. The standby/on switch flickers between a green "on" light and a red "standbylight" and won't power up. I downloaded the service manual, but I can't even get into the diagnostics program. I'm not sure what to do. I've searched the net quite a bit and found that other people have had the same problem with this unit. I'm too cheap to send it to a repair shop. Can anyone recommend a website or resource to help diagnose the problem?
Thanks
Has it been unplugged and left to sit? Sometimes, Microprocessors just lose their minds...Happened to My Cable Box twice.
We use it just about every day. After the incident, I have had it unplugged for three to four days and still doesn't fix the problem.
Just about says it all. Unless this is a common problem with discussions etc going on out there, you're probably unlikely to be able to repair it yourself.
Maybe time for a new unit - hopefully not a Philips.
For Surround receivers I recommend Yamaha, Sony, Denon, and Onkyo.
