Not sure this will help, but disengage your speakers... seems to me the load may be too low for the AVR.

Also measure the DC offset...

You can purchase a service manual from Denon Canada in Markham, Ontario. (800) 263-1692, listen to the menu. The manuals should not be that expensive and you get all the information.

It does sound like the load impedance was too low, plus you can run into clipping anywhere from half volume to about 3/4 volume. You also need to provide really good ventillation with multichannel amps. I'd leave at least 4" above your receiver, more if you can.

Me,

I dont load up my AVR 3805 with speakers... I let the power amps take that abuse.

AVR3200 going into protection

If you remove the load and the same symptom persists, turn the unit off and measure across the speaker terminals one pair at a time with an DVM set on the low ohms range. If you measure a very low value, check the caps C652 and C656 across the front speaker terminals. I have seen these caps short and cause this symptom.
