XPA5 G2 red light shutdown

[audio55]

I'm having a recurring problem with my 18 month old XPA5.
Recently it has been going into standby mode after about an hour of operation.
After about an hour there is a "pop" noise from the right surround speaker and subsequently the blue lights go out, a red light flashes and the unit goes into standby (all sound is lost).
Pressing the power button restarts the amplifier and it functions normally for a time before repeating the above cycle.
I would appreciate comments from anyone with a similar problem and the corrective action they took to remedy this.
Thanks

I would try running it for a time with the speakers completely disconnected and see if it still does it.

And be sure to disconnect them at the amplifier terminals.

I have not had any problems with mine, but here is what I would do
1- turn off, unplug wait 20 secs & replug & pwr on.
2- try another speaker on that channel- preferably 8 ohm.
3 check the heat compared to what it usually feels like.
4- Check your wiring for any shorts or insulation problems
5- disconnect the speaker channel that is failing & run without it and see if it continues to fault out.

I bet that channel is going 'thermo' & needs Emo to repair it.
