has it for about 1.5 yrs, while watching a movie from the beginning, sound stopped and channel 2 & 4's red light, together with the power button amber light from front panel flashed....I power it off, turned off the power switch at the back, waited a few minutes...I unplug speakers's cable for channel 2 & 4 and reconnected again, turned the unit back on , watch the same movie and it is fine now.
Are these to be alarmed if something's wrong with my unit?

Nothing to the XPA-5, I moved the subwoofer from a corner to next to my left front speaker now.

Caution! Never leave the amp powered up while connecting or disconnecting speakers or interconnects.
Remove all of the speaker wires and the interconnects from the AVR/AVP and power up the amp. You should have only the power cord connected for this test. If you have a red LED after powering up stop here and call Emotiva for repair.
If the 'nothing is connected' test gives you all blue lights then the next thing I'd do is look at the connections at your speakers and at the amp - especially if you use bare wire. Copper wire will get a corrosion coating in it which creates resistance and a bad connection. Strip all the wire to clean copper and reconnect and see if that helps. Your interconnects should also be checked. To to that - IF the amp does not go into fault protection with EVERYTHING disconnected then add one connection at a time back to the amp and test by powering the amp up. You'll either find its a bad interconnect - speaker wire - or speaker crossover/driver. Rarely the fault is in the AVR or AVP.
