I have a Yamaha RX-V2300 receiver bought in 2003. It has been working great until recently and has started to shut down at random times. I read some of the strings on the site and here is what I know:


The cause is not the speakers as I have disconnected all of them and it still shuts off.


I have also disconnected all of the other inputs (DVD player, TV, etc) and it still shuts off.


I thought maybe it's a bad power cord but it seems to have a pretty snug connection. If I wiggle it, it does not cause the receiver to shut down.


HOWEVER, if I lift the receiver or move the entertainment center I have it in, it shuts off.


Or it just randomly shuts off if I leave it still. It may take 30 seconds or 10 minutes, but POOF, it shuts off.


One other note--something weird started happening about 2 years ago. Not sure why this started, but when I change inputs I hear a deep pop in my subwoofer. This did not happen for the first 10 years I had this unit.


I don't want to spin my wheels too much on this, but if anyone has any solutions that will not cost a fortune, I would appreciate it. Otherwise I may just bite the bullet and hit the market for some new hardware.


Thanks in advance!

Wow, I had to download the manual... There might be a museum somewhere that could display that antique. Otherwise, I think you're ready for a new one!


Question is, what legacy connections are you still using on that receiver that you'll need on a current model? You might have to upgrade more than just the AVR if you've got a lot of S-video and TOSlink connections in play....
