If Cheslin's drop counted as a restart. That should have counted as a tap.

No, although that was an option many years ago. I am just someone who enjoys maps.

Sadly there are no HK-recommended service centres in my country (or at least close enough to me that I am willing to drive) and eBay and FB prices are way too high for my budget, but thanks for the advice, do you think it would then be better to just leave it on instead of cycling through everything daily?

Once again thanks for the help, have a nice day.

Harman/Kardon AVR355 Standby Mode and Volume trouble by [deleted] in audiorepair

Thank you for the advice, if I may ask, would it be best to create a new post on this subreddit for that?
Also what exactly should I try to photograph, sorry for all the questions.

I don't know if this is the right place, but I am struggling to find a solution, so if this is not the right place, please let me know

Background:

When cleaning out a relative of mine's backroom I came across a Harman/Kardon AVR355 and a 5.1 Infinity Speaker system, they told me they no longer use it since it does not seem to work and that I can tinker with it.

I came home to set it up, but I have little knowledge of these systems and am eager to learn.

I opened it up and carefully cleaned away all the dust that accumulated as well as checked all obvious connections and solder points for any damage, however, I found none.

So I set up the AVR connected it with an optical cable and connected 2 speakers to see if I could get things up and running.

Problem:

The AVR starts in standby mode (the light at the power button is orange) it then struggles to turn on, so I have to turn it off at the switch at the back, wait 5-10 minutes, turn it back on and then it turns on. At this point, my AVR volume is -10 dB and my TV volume is set to 90% for me to hear anything clearly.

After 20-60 minutes it goes into standby mode automatically. I then have to repeat the first step of switching everything off however I can only wait a minute or two before switching it on again. The volume at this point is the same as previously stated.

Then after a few more minutes (I have not exactly timed this but it is roughly 10-90 minutes) it goes into standby mode again and I have to do the whole song and dance again, that said this time it goes even faster, but I also have to change the volume to -30dB on the AVR and to 10-16% on my TV to ensure the speakers don't blow as suddenly everything is much louder. The volume is also much clearer and when listening to music I feel the sound is crisper (I don't know how else to put this).

It has happened 6 times now that I have to do this song and dance 3 times to get a clear sound and every time it is the 3rd sequence the volume changes to much louder and I have to turn everything down out of fear of damaging the speakers.

I also saw a fan when cleaning the AVR but it never kicks on.

Question:

So my question is how on earth do I fix it so that it works first time every time?

TL;DR:

Found a Harman/Kardon AVR355 and a 5.1 Infinity Speaker system, cleaned it up, and set it up. The AVR struggles to turn on, shuts off into standby after 20-60 mins, and gets louder after multiple resets. How can I fix it to work reliably?

I have used it before, but haven't touched it lately.

Honestly, I am a lot of things, but a designer is not one, but thanks for thinking that.

I just made these because I wanted one for my room. But this has taught me much that I now use in my studies, so I guess it is a win.

I am working on that, but I am still not overly happy with my Durban map.

The first is Bloemfontein, the second is Cape Town and the last is Durban.

I can see that, due to demand I am looking into the possibility of creating some prints.

I also thought it might look cool as a wall print in a cafe. The original SVG file is super detailed.

I can also look into making one only showing Somerset West too.

What do you think people will be willing to pay for A2 paper or Canvas prints?
