    Urgent help needed - HK3480
    i recently bought a hk-3480 reciever from hkdirect on ebay with full factory warranty. It was working ok till yesterday.

    The problem is that reciver is going in protect mode, every time i am turning it on. it is happening, even when i am not connecting any speaker or input to it. can i fix it at home, or i need to send it to HK shop?

    please help me.... i have party on this saturday

    Did you check if the impedance setting is set with value of speaker? You might have to reset to factory setting.Pat.P

    Do this first unplug for 30 minutes if its reset and works its fine .If still malfunctioning press system power control after press and hold front panel mute for a least 4 sec .This is going to set at factory setting.You'll have to reprogram your receiver ect.If it does'nt work you have a problem.Pat.P

    i tried both options, still no result. i would nee to talk with HK guys tomorrow, lets see what they suggest.

    i was using it with my notebook, then when i connected it my comcast reciever, it worked fine for first hour or so, but next i tried to turn it on, this problem came up

    Well, what did they suggest? The FAQ on their website is nonexistant, and this is the only thing google finds!
