Why does my JVC RX-F10S turn off by itself?

  Steven BergerAug 29, 2025
  If your JVC Receiver turns off and enters standby mode, it could be due to several reasons. The speakers might be overloaded because of high volume, so stop the playback source. Alternatively, there might be a short circuit at the speaker terminals; in this case, check the speaker wiring. If the wiring is not short-circuited, contact your dealer. It is also possible that the receiver is overloaded because of high voltage, if so, consult your dealer after unplugging the power cord.
