Matthew,

I am having the same problems with mine and, unbelievably, I have the same exact setup that you described (86 the changer). I didn't start happening until about 2 months after I had the unit. The strange thing is, and I can't remember if you said anything about this or not, but mine only cuts off when I am watching DVDs. Also, it will not cut off if I keep the volume at 26 or lower. If I press the power button twice, it cuts back on, but will immediately cut off again unles I turn the volume down, so I assumed it had something to do with overheating or clipping or something. The 1050 sits on its own shelf and the shelf above it is a at least 8 to 10 inches from the top of the receiver. I felt the receiver when it cut off and it felt cool, so that perplexed me as well. I am going to contact Outlaw CS since no one else has discovered a DIY solution. Thanks for posting. At least I am not the only one...
