Overload is almost always caused by red/black wires shorted. This is a short-circuit which over-heats the receiver.

- Disconnect all speakers from the rear of the receiver

- Fire the system up and turn up the volume. If the unit goes into OVERLOAD - something is wrong with the receiver.

- Make sure the receiver has vent-space and is not simply over-heating.

- Examine both ends of the wire for the center speaker. Make sure there are no strands of copper and hook up just the center speaker. Turn the system on and turn it up.

- If the system works fine, turn off the power and hook up one more speaker. test again

Eventually you will find the problem wire. I strongly suspect the dog-chewed wire has a short.
