I just got my harman kardon today internet order from Costco. NO VOLUME!
The control ranges from -60db to 0db or so but when I crank it to about -25,
its a normal listening level (you can hold a conversation) any more volume
and the unit shuts off. I tried different speakers with the same results
(8ohms). I also noticed the unit is getting way hot and the fan is
running. This is playing 2 channel stereo music a low room levels.

Boy am I dissappointed. I payed 650 and waited a long time for this thing.
My last rcver was an HK avr70. It played much louder but crapped out
twice.

Any help out there?

I like to at least rattle the windows abit.. specially with the wife out of
town.

Check for shorted speaker wiring at both ends.

See if it shuts off when you turn the volume control up with no speakers or
wires attached.
