G-6000 Relay

Hi all in Sansui land. A member here is in need to know what type of protection relay is in the G-6000. The owner before him had taken the cover of and wrapped a rubber band around the relay and removed the return spring from the top, so he will need a new relay. We need a owner of a G-6000 to take a look inside of theirs and tell me what type is in there.
Thanks in advance.

Stupid former owners

Why do stupid people do things like wrap a rubber band around the protection circuit? Damn, I just answered my own question.

:yes: :yes:
 
I have a g 6000 whet i turn it up past 10 o clock the sound cuts out but power stays on i have to turn off unit to reset it what could it be
 
The protection circuit could be doing its job.

Could be high DC voltage on the outputs.

Even though the volume is only at 10 o'clock, you may be maxing out the amp. Try it with the loudness off and controls flat. Not bass heavy music.

Also, you may want to start your own thread. This one is quite old.

It wont cut out with loudness button off i can play it loud as i want; so it's supposed to cut out like that
 
If you are running 2 sets of speakers or a set of 4 ohm speakers, the G-6000 does not like that. I added a Niles speaker selector, which establishes an 8 ohm load to the amp. After that, I had no more issues with the protection circuit. The G-6000 must see an 8 ohm load to be happy when being cranked up even though it is said to be able to handle a 4 ohm load.
 
Your right King BubbIa I have a pair of Cerwin Vega RE 30's hooked up and they're 4 ohms, I'll sell it cause I want to keep my speakers
 
Sounds like it's working fine. The protection circuit is protecting both your speakers and your output transistors. Stop doing that.

Just like Pete said, there is really nothing wrong with the 6000. It is one great receiver and if I were you I would hold on to it with both hands. Mine finally would not turn on one day and it is in cue to be repaired after a couple more receivers get serviced. Get the selector from Niles or some other good brand which will show your amp 8 ohms and you won't have any more issues if you want the loudness on or you want to crank it up a bit. The selectors are not very expensive.
 
Another simple option would be to get a pair of 4 ohm load resistors and connect them in series with the + terminal of the receiver and the + terminal of your speakers. They can be found on "the bay" real cheap from China. 100Watt resistors. You will just need to connect wires to each side of the resistor to be able to connect in series. I would suggest that you just mount them discretly on the back of each speaker, allowing you to connect one end of the resistor to the + connector of the speaker, and connect the other end to the wire coming from the + side of the receiver.
 
Or wire your two pairs of speakers in series and just connect them to one speaker terminal set on the receiver. The 9090DB and 8080DB wire multiple speaker sets this way.
