Possible short in output amplifier darlington transistors. Check cable connections first, but if that doesn't help, it is likely a amplifier problem

Your receiver has blown out you need to buy a NEW Receiver and sub-woofer (the sub isnt compatable with better receivers)

SOURCE: RCA RTD258 Not working

I had a similar problem with my unit. It Worked fine for about 4-6 months with a slight problem of a loud hum of the cooling fan during the first 5 initial minutes upon turning it on.

However yesterday it all of sudden stopped working, it remained on, because you could hear the fan, but nothing else. I could not even turn it off, unless completely unplugging. I finally decided to open the unit up and unscrewed the top part. Apperantly some of the fuzes' covers (plastic) had starting melting down due to the heat, or improper ventilation, and that black molten plastic goop got in the way of the connections. I cleaned up as much as I could, and after that it seemed to be working fine...

This is not a bad unit, and has a great potential, too bad that the interior was so cheaply designed that its durability is obsviously meant to be of a short life span...

SOURCE: rca rt2600 no sound, if you switch on the power

One of the audio output amplifier ics are toast the faulty one will need to be desoldered from the board and replaced, they run at about $10 each normaly. The faulty one will generaly be quite burnt.

Hold down the power button and unplug the unit. Now release the power button. Plug the unit back into the wall. Now press the button. The system should power up.

My Pioneer displays Overload
Overload is displayed when the amp draw is excessive, and can be caused by different faults.
when Overload is detected, the protection circuit will shut down the unit to prevent further damage.

The first thing to try is hard reset. Shut down the unit for about one hour to drain power completely.
This can fix minor problems that can cause overload, for example electrostatic charge accumulation on internal capacitors.

If that does not fix the problem, then you must find the fault.

Overload can be caused by shorted speakers, wrong impedance speakers, or by a contact on speakers wiring.
Check speakers connection and test different speakers with 6, or better 8 Ohms impedance.

Another test can be done by unplugging all speakers, and reconnecting and testing them one at a time, at a very low volume.

If the speakers are OK, then preamp, shorted input/output connectors, main power supply or faulty output transistors can draw too much amps causing overloading.

In that case it is recommendable contacting Pioneer at the number listed on the owners manual.

Display shows overload and receiver shuts down
This means that one (or maybe more) of the amplifiers is shorted. Remove all speakers cables and try again. If you get the same message that means that one (or more) amplifiers is fried. To find which and why you will have to open the unit and test the amplifiers.

Protection overload and the system shuts off
Reasons: 1. Short in the wire, speaker, or amplifier 2. Amplifier malfunction 3. Overload of the amplifier 4. Overload of the speaker
Listening to audio at loud levels requires more power obviously. But the speakers and amplifier may not be rated or capable to handle it due to age or design.

Check speakers connection and test different speakers with 6, or better 8 Ohms impedance.

Another test can be done by unplugging all speakers, and reconnecting and testing them one at a time, at a very low volume.
No more than two 4 Ohms speakers can be connected to the unit, or you will get overload.

If the speakers are OK, then preamp, shorted input/output connectors, main power supply or faulty output transistors can draw too much amps causing overloading.

In that case it is recommendable contacting Pioneer at the number listed on the owners manual.

Turns off when i turn it up
Does it power back up after it shuts down, if it does power back up it is unlikely it is an internal fuse, you would need to replace the fuse if that was the issue, could be an amplifier overload, check the demand your speakers require in watts, and be sure the right ohm speakers are being used, many receiver will display "overload protection"and shut down, and some just un-power to prevent a electical short from occuring.

Getting a "Protect" message in the display which then shuts down
The speaker wires were al little frayed, so I cut and stripped new 3/8" leads and when re-inserted the receiver worked fine. The problem was a short from the frayed wires touching either the back of the receiver or some other metal near the terminal.

Overload
try turning the unit off in standby mode then hold down the enter button and then the power button for about 10m seconds that should reset the unit depending on how new the unit is it sometimes has a digital saftey setting but i doubt that would cause it to do what you are saying

Overload
I know that this post is long outdated, but I came across it and had to post.  Sorry, but the solution posted by nfanres is not correct.  Just because the KLH speakers are rated at 250W does NOT mean that they will always pull that much from the receiver.  That is just a manufacturer rating saying that they recommend supplying a max of 250W to the speakers.  The reason your receiver says "Overload" is most likely due to the subwoofer being an improper impedance for the receiver, causing the receiver to see a lower resistance in the load, and thus outputting too much power.  I could go into a detailed explanation as to why with Ohm's Law, but just suffice it to say that if you decrease the resistance, current will increase, thus the overloading (too much current draw for the receiver).
If you haven't already, try just unhooking the sub and going back to the setup you had before.  Generally, Pioneer receivers are protected, and just say "Overload" and shut down everything so that nothing fries.  If you have already tried that, then I don't know what to tell you - something must have internally tripped.  You have probably either gotten rid of the receiver or fixed it by now, but I just had to post and clear this up for anyone else who might have a similar problem.
In short, ratings on the backs of speakers do NOT mean that they pull that much power.  It's just a rating of how much you can push from the receiver to the speaker.
