Hi,
Does anyone know how to reset a Sherwood RD 6118R AV Receiver? Recently the surround channels have gone to 100% volume at all times (except when muted), regardless of what the master volume is. Front and centre are OK. Same behaviour in Dolby Digital and Pro Logic modes.
Any help appreciated.

Only worked on one later model Sherwood, but it was a Denon built one, and reset issues are quite common on those.
No reset procedure was given, but I was able to bleed off the backup cap and it fixed the problem in my case.

Thank you Mark. I couldn't figure out which was the backup cap, so I left the unit unplugged from the mains, with the power switch "on" for about a week. That reset the unit and fixed the fault.

Over this past 25 years, I've seen this problem with several items -- an NAD TV, a Pioneer LD player, a Palm PDA, a Sony DVD player. The unit or "locks up" or stops working altogether, and returns to normal operation either by being turned off and left to sit for an indefinite/undefined period (which can be a day, a week, or a month), or by having the plug pulled while it's operating.
I call this "CMOS lockup", but that's only a guess as to what's actually going on.
Question: Is it possible for an amplifier to get stuck at 110% volume?
Glad that worked out for you!

Only if it's a Marshall amp.
