Bought Yamaha YHT-196 last week.
Just unboxed and installed the system, however getting strange problem, the Amp cuts off after a specific volume when listening with 5.1 setup. The culprit looks to be the Centre Speaker.
For Music - the music plays well for most of the Preset sound options but for 1 of the preset settings.
For movies, the amp cuts off when sound is set to 20 - 30% of the max volume in most of the preset sound options.
Did some R&D and figured out that all the modes where centre speaker is turned on, it does not works well and Amp powers off after a specific vlume. However if I switch to any mode where centre speaker is off. It works good.
Any pointer is any setting is incorrect or the setup is faulty or the hardware is faulty.
