Several months ago I had 4 sets of high quality in wall speakers
installed in my home by an electrician. Each set of speakers is in a
different room in the house with a separate volume control installed.
I have a "Multi-Room Speaker Selector" that the four sets of speaker
wires connect to and then the speaker selector is connected to my
Technics Receiver.

Periodically the system shuts down and triggers the overload message
on the receiver. I had the electrician back out several times and
they couldn't find anything wrong with what they wired.

I went out and purchased two different new high end receivers from
BestBuy and it made no difference as the overload was still
triggered. I purchased a new speaker selector and that only seemed to
make matters worse as the overload now triggers even quicker.

Any advice for what I can check? How can I determine/measure if there
is a short some where in all of the wiring?

Other suggestions?

Thanks!
Jamie

**Model number? What is the impedance of the speakers and the minimum rated
impedance that the amplifier will drive?

**Get a pro to check the system out. It will cost you less in the long run.
You've been throwing money at it and gotten nowhere. A pro should be able to
locate the fault (if there is one) and sort it out within a couple of hours.
MUCH less expensive than a couple of "high end receivers".

Thanks for the advice Trevor. I'll see if I can track down a pro in
the area.

Thanks again,
Jamie
