Re: My reciever is flashing the word PROTECT and will not...
Follow the steps below to troubleshoot if the word PROTECT or PROTECTOR is flashing on the A/V receivers display.
- Check the speaker wires and speakers for proper connections.
- Reduce the volume level. IMPORTANT: If
the receiver is played back at maximum volume level it may enter the
protect mode. Maximum volume listening will cause the receiver to run
very hot and may drain the output capacitors.
- Disable the surround sound option if both the A and B speakers are being used simultaneously.
- Ensure the top of the receiver has proper ventilation to keep it from overheating.
- If the message only occurs when using a DVD player, the sampling frequency may be set too high. IMPORTANT: Some
receivers provide compatibility with the higher sampling frequencies
through alternate connections. Consult the owners manual for specific
information.
- Unplug the AC power cord for about 1 to 2 hours to reset the output transformers.
If the issue is still unresolved, service may be required. The Sony® eService Web site at http://eservice.sony.com/ can assist you in obtaining service from a Sony Service Center or locating a Sony Authorized Servicer.
