to piss off the neighbors lol... about 6 months ago, I got a new Sony surround sound receiver to replace the Nakamichi surround sound receiver I bought about 20 years ago.. Nothing wrong with it - just wanted HDMI hookups, Bluetooth, and a few more features.. The Sony, out of the box, has never once worked right.. have never gotten through a movie without it shutting off at least 5 times - audio AND video.. As of yesterday it was shutting off every 5 minutes..
So, I rewired everything, checked impedances of all speakers etc.. everything looked great and it ran great for 30 minutes, then shut off again.. I had had enough, so disconnected it and hooked the Nakamichi up again and got thunderous sound while watching the movie Life.. Amazing, that a Sony product was F'd up right out of the box.. today's plan is to take it outside and my wife and I will grab hammers and smash it to pieces..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
