      Laura YoungAug 25, 2025
      If your Panasonic Receiver stops playing sound, the display shows “OVERLOAD” briefly, and the unit turns off, it could be due to: * Shorting of positive and negative speaker wires. * Using speakers with an impedance lower than rated for the unit. * Speakers straining due to excessive volume or power. * The unit overheating due to poor ventilation. Determine and correct the cause, then turn the unit on.
