Hello, I have a little (well not really a little) problem. So my friend gave me this Philips FR 986 DIGITAL AV Surround receiver. It worked well with same speakers at his place, after I got home and set it up it just stopped working. When I turn it on I hear ticking like a relay in a car and display turns on for brief second. Any help I could get? Thanks in advance. :)
 
We used the same speekers. I got them to his house, we connected the receiver there - everything wen smooth. I got everything back home and now its not working. Thats how it happened. My speakers are very old Radiotehnika S-90F 8 ohms and receiver I think is 5+ ohms.
