RKPhelps Gunslinger Registered: 07/01/01 Posts: 24 Loc: Milford, Ohio USA	When turning on the 976 with the power button it just blinks and says power on and then says power off and shuts off and then powers on again. It just cycles on and off continuously never getting past the power on. I tried unplugging and no success. It won't stay powered on. It's plugged into a power conditioner so it's been protected. Anyone else have this issue? I'm very disappointed in this Product. Edited by RKPhelps (10/21/19 03:25 PM)

Is your 976 in an enclosed cabinet? _________________________ Main HT <> 976 <> 7200 <> Ultra-X12 <> sapphire ST2 mkII RF/LF <> sapphire SC center sapphire ST2 mkII SBR/SBL <> sapphire SS SR/SL <> Verizon/DVR <> Vizio M70Q7 <> Oppo UDP-203 <> Amazon 4k Fire TV

Might work if the 976 was unplugged for a shorter period of time. If that didn't work out I would then attempt a full reset. If it works all you've lost are your current settings. _________________________ AvFan Outlaw 976 \| ATI 2005 \| M&K 850s Left, Center & Right, Surround-55s, MX-70B Sub \| Harmony 950 remote \| Panamax 5100 \| OPPO UDP-203 \| LG OLED55B7

My 976 sits on a shelf near the top of an open 6 shelf vertical rack/shelves Stand. It is connected to an APC power conditioner. This keeps all the components in my system separated with lots of cooling air around them. I've had the 976 unplugged for several weeks prior to today when I decided to do something about it, It's a real pain to get behind my rack and deal with all the wires and components connected to the 976, it's a several hour job. I did plug the 976 into another outlet with nothing connected to it prior to shipping it back to Outlaw to verify the problem is with the 976 - it is. Edited by RKPhelps (10/22/19 03:15 PM)

I'm sure Outlaw Customer Service will address the issue. I speak from very recent experience with my own 976 that the Outlaw team is very responsive and works hard to resolve any issue. _________________________ AvFan Outlaw 976 \| ATI 2005 \| M&K 850s Left, Center & Right, Surround-55s, MX-70B Sub \| Harmony 950 remote \| Panamax 5100 \| OPPO UDP-203 \| LG OLED55B7
