NOT MUCH GOING ON YET

HELL ALL,

WELL, WITH THE ENTIRE COUNTRY UP IN ARMS ABOUT THE CORONA VIRUS, NOT MUCH IS GOING ON ON THE HOME FRONT. PRETTY MUCH STAYED HOLED UP THE ENTIRE WEEKEND.

ONE OF MY OLDER BOYS PICKED UP AN OLD BOSE AM6 SPEAKER SYSTEM FROM A GARAGE SALE FOR $10. I SPENT SATURDAY AFTERNOON PLACING SPEAKERS AROUND THE SHOP AND RUNNING SPEAKER WIRE. GOT THAT ALL HOOKED UP AND THEN SPENT MOST OF THE EVENING TRYING TO GET IT ALL TO WORK.

IT APPEARS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE RECEIVER I BOUGHT THROUGH MY YOUNGEST SON. FINALLY GO IT TO WORK FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES (AND IT SOUNDED PRETTY GOOD!), AND THEN A BUNCH OF STATIC, 2 MORE MINUTES OF GOOD AND THEN REALLY LOUD STATIC AND THEN......NOTHING.

LOOKED ON LINE AT ISSUES FOR THE PARTICULAR MODEL I HAVE AND PRETTY MUCH FOUND NOTHING, SO, I TOOK THE COVER OFF AND BLEW ALL THE DUST AND STUFF OUT OF IT, CLEANED ALL THE CONNECTIONS, AND TRIED IT AGAIN WITH JUST TWO SPEAKERS HOOKED TO IT(INSTEAD OF SEVEN!), AND THEN I DID A FACTORY RESET OF THE PROCESSOR AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES TROUBLE FREE.

THAT WAS ABOUT THE TIME I DECIDED IT WAS TIME FOR BED. SO, MY INTENTION IS TO GO HOME TONIGHT AND HOOK IT ALL BACK UP AGAIN AND DO ALL THE PROGRAMMING AGAIN AND SEE IF IT WILL WORK OR NOT. I MAY HAVE TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER RECEIVER AND STILL LOOKING FOR SPEAKERS AND A NEW TV.

I'LL USE THE BOSE SPEAKERS FOR NOW, UNTIL  I FIND EXACTLY WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR. WHILE THEY WERE WORKING THEY SOUNDED FINE.

OTHER THAN THAT, I'M JUST WORKING AND TRYING NOT TO CATCH ANYTHING. SO FOR NOW, WASH YOUR HANDS AND STAY HEALTHY FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN!
