    Can a speaker-wire short fry an amp?

    Well, in talking to one of the local service shops I may have found something that may have caused it, or at least contributed to it. I've always had my DVD player sitting on top of the reciever, for three years it sat there with no problem. One of the guys I talked to said this is a big NO NO...

    Can a speaker-wire short fry an amp?

    As I said in my other thread, my 3-yr old Pioneer VSX-D711 no longer powers up. I talked to a few shops and it seems like it will cost (at a minimum) almost as much as a new unit, plus I'd have to wait 4-6 weeks.

    I have a Pioneer VSX-D711 reciever that is only a few years old, but out of warranty. Just the other day it started displaying an "AMP ERR" message when I turn it on. After the message displays for a few seconds the unit turns off. I have noticed some funny behavior with the volume knob being a...
