I have a jvc home stereo model number CA-HXC6 i have had it for a few years its on protect mode and i cant get it off dont know how it cuts off

most of the time the main o/p ic goes bad after awhile due to age & heat ..

google stk428-610 ic an stk428-640 ic an replace them , they have to be solder in , don't try this if u don't have experience

when i had this problem my wires were touching the case. other times the wires were touching eachother

The protect message indicates that the output amp section has a problem. Normally this requires the replacement of the output transistors or the output amp pac. Expect the repair cost to be about $20-$60 for parts plus the local labor rate.

your problem is your linear intergrated amplifier chip has blown, or has dry joints. causing you system to go in to protect mode which stops more damage being caused and fire not occurring. if you have no technical back ground in electronics, then i wouldnt attempt repair yourself. if you have take cover off and on the long metal heat sink there is a black like box with between ten and thirty legs going in to circiut board thats your problem, theres a code on the front of it with 2 or 3 letters then a number, thats your part number they range in price from between £7.00 to 50.00 pounds.. hope this helps

STAR NOT GOOD ON END OFF

Turn on the system and enter CD mode. While pressing the stop button on the unit (the small round button with the dark square), press the CD Open/Close button on the unit. 'UNLOCKED' appears on the display.

cheack the speaker wireing.if thats not the pro i sugg the repair shop your unit could have over heated.

hi, ya absolutly... please check the speaker wires, some wire is shorted, remove all the speaker wires from the system and then power it on to confirm it.let me know

Protect mode would indicate that the system is shutting down due to a fault in the output which drives the speakers. You can check the speaker wiring, are there an loose or frayed wires? Any small "whiskers" or wire touching anything? Check the wire all the way to the speaker for damage, some pets love to chew wires! Are you using the original speakers or added extra? The impedance of the speakers must be in the range shown on the back of the unit. Have you perhaps had the volume up very high? This could result in speaker damage that could also cause this error. Try disconnecting the speakers & see if the unit powers up, if it does then put the speakers back one at a time to discover the faulty one. If all this checks out OK then the output stage itself is probably faulty & that's a job for the repair shop. Please update the question & let us know if the information given was useful to you - Good Luck!
