Onkyo Reciever shut off today- Did I damage it?

Question

I have an Onkyo s5100 theatre system, and today I turned my Ipod on its dock on (it is hooked up to the reciever) and turned on the reciever simultaneously. The volume on the reciever had been set high from a movie, and when the Ipod came on the whole thing just shut off immediatley. It turned back on, but my question is why did it do this, and did It hurt anything?

Answer 1

you simply overloaded the system and it shut down to keep from damaging something.  it's a good thing.
