Why does my amp turn off when I turn it up?

What does it mean when your amp is clipping?

Clipping occurs when more power is required from an amplifier then it is able to deliver.

This means that the signal is amplified but in a very distorted form.

Denon receivers run very toasty indeed. I have a 6200 running R Series speakers which is in a cabinet but with adequate ventilation, especially above. No heating issues even running for over eight hours a day. There is only one way to check and that is too test the unit out in the open.

What’s the power level on a Denon 4500?

The more volume you give then the closer to -0dB it gets, the 4500 will go past the 0dB to +18dB. You could also try with the Eco setting set to on. This will reduce the heat but will not give the full power to the used amps.
