Hello--

I recently purchased a 1050 receiver direct from Outlaw and am generally quite happy with it. The sound is much, much purer than with my old Carver, and I've found the interface very intuitive.

One problem, however -- and I'm aware this is more likely than not just something I've screwed up -- is that when the speakers are set to "Small" the unit would occasionally just turn itself off, especially at what seem to be moments of peak power usage. I read the manual, switched the speakers over to "Large" and the problem disappeared. At that point, I was running the system with five speakers: decent Snell monitors up front and in the center, and some teeny, tiny Cambridge Soundworks jobbies as surrounds.

This morning, I added a powerful Snell sub to the system. Following the advice in the manual to let the sub take care of the LF sound, I switched all the other speakers over to "Small", and the problem whereby the unit shut itself off soon reappeared.

Thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to offer.
