My new 7100 arrived today and I hooked it up right away only to find that the 12v trigger is not functioning properly! The amp will not come on automatically when I turn on my receiver, but it will power up when I remove the 3.5mm plug from the jack in the amp itself. The amp will not turn on though if I leave the plug in the amp and remove the other end from the receiver's 12v trigger output. Double & triple checked the connections and found everything hooked ur properly. The 12v trigger on the receiver worked perfectly with the 2 channel amp that was removed when the 7100 was connected, so I'm 99.999% sure that the problem is in the 7100 and not in the receiver.

Anyone else having any problems like this?

I know it seems like a minor thing to some, but this is the first time I have ordered a piece of Home Theater electronics off the net without having the chance to audition it first.
