Rotel RX 404

I’d like to start off by saying I’m new to this site. I’ve read a hundred reviews though so I think I get the idea. Anyhow, I have a question hopefully someone could help me out with. I was playing Stranglehold super loud and the sound cut out on my receiver. Lights and meters are working, but no sound. I don’t know if it helps, but I had just hooked up another set of speakers to it so A And B were both on. Thanks for any help.

You might have simply blown an overload protection fuse. Depending on the ohm rating on the speakers it might have presented more than your receiver could manage, especially with the volume cranked up. Some use relays but fuses are the more predominant.



Your amplifier is rated at 30 watts per channel with the maximum load being 4 ohms, as speakers can present a rather complex load you could have gone below that, down to 2 ohms for instance. That would definitely present an issue that could cause a fuse to blow, let's hope so!
