Emotiva Basx A5 Flashing lights & Standby

[rgbbhat]

Dear Gurus
I had paired my set up as below
Yamaha A870-->Emotiva Basx A5 Power Amp-->Bowers 702 S2, HTM71 S2 & 603 S2
Yamaha A870--> Polk OWM3s ( Atmos)

Worked perfectly for almost 1 year but 2 days back , Emotiva started giving some static on the Front Left ( 702 S2) so I checked.
No shorting or loose wires in any of the speakers or connections. I switched Left & Right Cables, worked well for 1 day and it has now gone into Standby after flashing red lights.
2 questions
a. Would any one have experienced this ?
b. If i get it repaired, would it reoccur as I am a bit confused as the power handling is 100 Watts per Channel and I dont listen to very High Volumes. If it is a mismatch then what alternatives should i go for , entry level Power Amps

I removed al the connections and just directly connected to Power and it starts normally and in 2 mins goes flashing red and then stand by.
Please help.

Rajesh

Yes. But I am in Mumbai and I bought it in Dubai . The only service centre is in Delhi and i contacted them but they are not guaranteeing it will be done FOC and they want to inspect it. Too laborious currently. Looking at getting it serviced locally if possible.

If it was a mismatch, you would have had the issue from day 1.
If this was an official purchase (Or even if its not) from Emotiva, call them on their US helpline. Their service standards are excellent.
Even if they can't support you in terms of repair, they can tell you what exactly to look for, when you hand the amplifier to a local technician.
If the issue is happening consistently after 2 minutes, state that in your communication

Thank you Sir. Makes sense if they tell us what to look out for. Excellent idea. Thank you.
