was given a broken sharp 5.1 stereo, they said when you play a CD it
cuts out, and they even tried to get it fixed. They only ever used it
for tuner/CD, and out of those two, CD is the only one that puts out
through the front speakers. I then tried it with some aux inputs that
went through the front speakers and alas my problem was replecated, so
its doing dodgy stuff when using the front speakers. It's behaviour
when it shuts down (blinking timer light) is described in the manual
as speaker shorting/over heating, so last night I open it up to see
any obvious problems, I notice two not very fast fans, when a company
put two fans into a stereo you know its prone to overheating. This
morning I left the covers off, and it's currently playing a CD and
it's up to track 9(as opposed to 30 seconds earlier), so I think its
just overheating.
Any suggestions how to keep it cool? I dont plan on running it with
the sides off, because its dangerous and stupid, at the moment its
sitting on wood on lino just to be safe, so any ideas what I can do?
