I have had this receiver since it came out with no problems. I have it in an entertainment center with the entire back exposed for ventilation. In the last 2 days, for no reason, the thing shuts off during playback. Its not immediate, maybe after 30 minutes or so. I plug it back in the first time and it came back up except all settings were erased, mcacc, everything.
Today, using a different source it did it again. Both were optical sources. This time, it did not come back up right away. Awhile later, I plugged it in and it turned on with the settings erased again. I looked at the speaker connections and didn't notice anything touching. The unit was not hot when it shut off. I don't get it, if it was a short the thing should go off right away. The fact that it plays for some time before going dead is really weird.
edit: I just tried it again, the receiver stayed on but was frozen when I let it go for an hour. It would no respond to power off either by remote or on the unit, I had to unplug it.
