Fellow Outlaws,

Preamble:

In short, I blew two channels on my 7125 amp. A contractor from my home builder was inspecting the in-wall wiring due to some issues I was facing and, being first thing in the morning and also taking care of my 16-month daughter, I forgot to disconnect power to my system. End result, blown amplifier. I actually blew the main fuse as well as another fuse for the left surround channel. Unfortunately the right surround channel fuse did not blow and that channel is dead. Outlaw customer service has been great and, for the cost of shipping, is sending me a B-stock unit to replace my unit. I had only owned my 990/7125 combination for about 3 weeks but had only been using it for about 1.5 weeks - yikes!

OK - now the question I have is regarding the 990. I don't suspect any damage has occurred to it but I cannot be sure. Since I haven't owned/used it for very long it is hard for me to determine if the sound quality has suffered or if the unit is damaged in any way. Are there any diagnostic programs that can be run on the unit to confirm it is still operating within its specified operating parameters?

I guess what I am looking for is some assurance that my 990 has not been damaged - either by way of running some diagnostics or from comments from other users suggesting that blowing my amp should not have caused any problems with the receiver smile

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Bryan
