    Default Denon Amplifier PMA-720AE auto shut off

    Not sure why but my Denon amp has suddenly started to turn itself off when not in use (never used to do that). I have to reset the on/off button which flickers red for a second or so before turning green. Is there a safety mechanism or something built into this amp.

    Few simple checks ray

    Check all speaker cables amplifier end & speaker end to make sure their not short circuiting IE no lose strands of wire poking out and all is wound up smooth...also check no interconnects are touching metal to metal or using thick speaker cable or interconnects..

    Could be a source issue but unlikely....

    hope this helps...

    I believe it has an auto shut down to standby mode after 30 minutes of no signal.
    It can be turned off in settings, but its been known to happen where on or off ive heard.. Worth checking the settings, but if its only happening when your not using it then its a bonus as itll save lecky and machine

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
