I've had an Onkyo TX-NR609 for about two years now, and I had an interesting experience last night. I was watching a movie, when my receiver turned off; I assumed that I accidentally hit the power button the remote (I always keep it nearby, and I was shifting in my seat), so I turned it back on, and I saw a "check SP wire" message that I'd never seen before. Now, I have had a problem with one of my rear speakers coming loose within the last month or so, so I checked, and everything was in order, with all the speakers working fine. The rest of the movie played without incident.
It wasn't until later that I learned that the "check SP wire" usually comes on when the receiver goes into protect mode; however, I am fairly sure it never went into that mode (the LED never blinked, and, again, the movie played fine). I have since booted the receiver back up without the message showing. The only explanation I have for the message showing up in the first place is that my Blu-ray player was right in the middle of a movie when I turned it back on, something that's never been the case (I always turn the receiver on first, well before any disc ever starts playing). Am I in the clear, or should I be worried? Again, all the speaker wires are fine and not touching each other (I've had this set up for nearly 6 years, so there's no reason why the wires could suddenly touch each other anyway).
