  2. Call the company,or take it back to where you bought it.I don’t think thats normal.Thats the reason for surround sound to have movies or sports louder.

  4. Assuming the system comes back on after you give it a chance to cool down, and only turns off when driven hard, it is probably a protection circuit cutting off power because driving the system hard is overheating something (or otherwise causing a fault). If the amp/receiver is enclosed (or even sitting on a carpet) and can’t get sufficient cooling air this could cause the problem.

    It is also possible there is a slight short across the speaker terminals … usually this happens at any volume, but if it only showing up when driven hard may it could possibly indicate it is only one strand of wire.

    A third possibility is that speaker impedence is too low for the system (but if they came with the system that isn’t likely). This could occur if two speakers are wired in parallel, however.

    I’d ensure proper ventilation, verify that the speakers are wired correctly, and see if it still happens. If only at high volume turn it down. If you feel it is happening at too low a volume check with the store you bought it from.
