Re: Onkyo TX 8211 protection mode is activated and i want...
Eliminate the short or overheating problem it thinks exists. Disconnect all speakers first to see if one of them is the culprit. If it's internal, take it to a shop.

The manual for the tx-8211 says that the total impedance for when you have both A and B speakers on are 8 ohms before it goes into protection mode. So look on the back of the speakers and read the impedance and add them up for that side of the speakers. You can wire them in series and it should fix them. I know this is a tad bit late by yknow two years but I’m bored and have nothing else to do.
make sure that somehow the wires didn't get loose from the speakers in the back. Protect means that it's overloaded. Did you change the plus wires with minus wires maybe. Check to make sure all the wires are good.
Your tuner will be the limiting factor regarding sound. The Onkyo accepts any stereo analog input via RCA connectors, period.
Those "black/red spring loaded wire inputs" are speaker outputs and if you hook one of those to an innocent audio device's Line In connections you might kiss it all goodbye.
It's unlikely you can. Most hifi shops can though.
If you're still reading, open it up, and look for a switch of some kind. It may not even exist, but I'd say it's the best thing to look for when doing something considered mediocre at hifi shops (if it was difficult and interesting, they wouldn't find it so boring). Maybe it's a button. It will probably be labelled protection or reset or something similar.
So, look for a switch, or something similar. I have no idea where it would be because I've never dismantled such a thing. The other option (if you haven't done so already) is unplug it from the power and leave it for a while (overnight may be the best bet). This may fix it for you, and it's easier than undoing all those screws.
The most likely problem is shorted output transistors. This is a straightfoward repair for any shop that works on audio gear. Expect a parts cost in the $40-$50 range.
the system protect is usually displayed when a condition of short or shorting is occurring in the speaker wiring or the voice coil of any of your speakers.... thte circuit of you reciever is trying to protect itself and you from a very costly repair,,,so it you have another set of speakers try to use them and see if the condition still exists and if it does the problem is in the output section of the receiver,,,and if the protect no longer exists you have fixed your problem,,,good luck
