In the manual look on page 10 step 10. You have to use a ball point pen and straightened paper clip (better) to reset the unit. There is a small hole at the lower left of the Volume knob. That's where you insert the paper clip.
Sounds like there's a power problem. First take out the radio and leave it connected. Turn on the radio normal volume, then disconnect the radio's antenna. If the radio shuts off then you need a better ground. If the radio doesn't shut off then you need to run power wires to the fuse box.
The only other thing is you have a bad speaker that only shorts out when you turn it up. Disconnect all but one speaker or one speaker at a time and see which one is the problem.
This happened to me too--with the same unit. I finally took it apart and found that the volume up button was shot. The tiny piece of metal that makes electronic contact had actually snapped in the middle causing contact to be made at random by bumps rattles or just about anything. Since the unit automatically comes on when the volume button is pressed, even turning it off was ineffective. So...I unsoldered one of the buttons that I never used much and soldered it where the broken volume button had been. I'm no expert, so I was rather surprised when the unit worked after i reattached it in my dash. Anyways, it was a cheap fix for a cheap--and poorly made deck. good luck
