seems that one of my 301's had decided to start turning itself off at will. i came home yesterday to find it off... so i turned it back on... then woke up this morning and it was off again.

i have a replay TV so i keep my 301's on all the time.

i'm wondering if my power supply might be going bad?

has anyone had this issue before?

it's weird because it seems to be staying on for a few hours before shutting itself off.

Don't have a 301 but my receiver has a function called auto shut off. you set for how long after leaving receiver unattended and it shuts down. Perhaps the 301 has this feature.

Have seen this before on 301's, seemed the power supply was going on out. resets or anything doesnt seem to do any good. Probually your only option is to swap out the receiver.
