[QUOTE="Pyro_By_Nature, post: 2065982, member: 558479"] Well, now it's time for me to start shopping for a new HT receiver.First, someone came into the room and asked if anything was burning.I didn't smell anything because I've been down here for a while just watching tv, but then I decided to watch a movie.And for that of course I have to turn the receiver on for surround sound.Anyway, near the end of the movie I hear this loud *** "POP", sound cuts off completely.I try to turn the receiver back on, welcomed by another POP, a loud *** BUZZZZ that lasted maybe 1-2 seconds.From there, it shut off.It released quite a bit of stink, I couldn't see any smoke because it was dark in the room at the time. So I unplugged it, turned the lights on and began examiation.I put the back of my middle finger against the top to feel exactly how hot it was, and it burnt me.So after soaking my finger in cold water for a few minutes I decided to come back and tell my story.As I'm typing this, the receiver is still making noises (completely unplugged). Right now it's popping, some loud, mostly semi-quiet. God ****, it sounds like someone put a bag of popcorn in the microwave.I just thought I'd amuse you guys with the loss of a receiver I've owned for a while now with no problems, ever.But all electronics will fail sometime.BTW: It's been ran a lot longer and a lot harder than it was pushed tonight watching "hostage".
