Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Connecting cd player to splitter to run 1 speaker.

Yes the reciever was on and at very high volume(actually,the cd player was connected to the input of an equalizer and the equalizer output was connected to a splitter and the splitter was connected to the input of my reciever).I disconnected the splitter and then reconnected it within a few seconds and then it blew.One week before this happened,I disconnected the splitter and reconnected it with my cdr connected to my equalizer(while the reciever was on at high volume)and the front panel of my reciver displayed a "protection" warning and the reciever turned off for a minute.(but did not blow).But the reciever blew a fuse and the transmitter when I tried this again one week later.I never had this problem with my old reciever when removing the splitter but only encountered a problem with my new sony reciever(str-de695).I wonder if its the splitter causing this.
