Hii I have sony shake 6D system and whenever I turn the volume up it reaches upto 40 and shows the error of 'protect E01' while the maximum volume is 50. Please help

I think this is the answer you are looking for.

Let me know if you need more help.

Knowledge Article C337191 Error: The message PROTECT or UNPLUG shows in the display.
Follow this procedure to troubleshoot when a PROTECT or UNPLUG error is displayed.
IMPORTANT: The top of the receiver must have proper ventilation to keep from over heating.

1. Reduce the volume level.
NOTE: If the receiver is played at the maximum volume level it may enter the PROTECT mode. Maximum volume listening will cause the receiver to run hot and drain the output capacitors.

2. If both the A and B speakers are being powered by the receiver at the same time, turn off the surround sound option.
3. If protect occurs only when using a DVD player, the sampling frequency may be set too high.
NOTE: Some receivers provide compatibility with the higher sampling frequencies through alternate connections. Consult the user manual for specific information.

4. Ensure the speaker wiring is not damaged and is properley connected to the back of the receiver and speakers.
5. If the issue is still unresolved after completing all of the troubleshooting steps, service may be required.

Hope this helps

Hi, I believe the sub is the wrong kind for your system. It should be a selfpowered sub one that you plug in to AC power and then connect to Hi/fi. You could do some damage to your system if you carry on with that. Good luck

Sony has protection in these receivers for two main reasons.

1 - Checking for DC voltages on the outputs to speakers. Not your particular problem.

2 - Excessive current being drawn from receiver on one or more of the speakers.

Number 2 should be your starting point in finding a solution. Put the volume level on Medium - 35 to 40 on the front panel. Now listen to all you speakers in turn. Any scratching noise will indicate a defective speaker. Remove this speaker from the receiver output and check again if the set goes into protection on high volume.

If you could not find any strange noises on the speakers, remove them one by one and test the set on high volume.

Never - attempt to disengage the protection on this amplifier. The only times we have found the amplifier to be defective with this protection error, it has done so no matter the volume level. Therefore I believe your problem to be a speaker or speakers.

Good luck!

Max size is apparently 1TB.

ITunes contains a volume leveling program that works with every recording in your library or you can select each one individually by going to the library, selecting get info with the right mouse button, select options, and change the volume with the control you see on the screen and press ok.

Well for the issue of the audio it usually protects when you are approaching the maximum that the internal workings of the system can handle. This also happens when it is overheating. Try to limit your maximum usage of the system to 5-10points below may.
