This is also called "protect" mode. See the link below for a generic explanation of prpotect mode. In order to provide you with more details, a model number is needed. While the likely problem is shorted outputs, the model number will allow me to post a more detailed response including costs.
Please update this with the model number.
Thanks,
Dan

The outup of one of the amplifier circuits in your receiver is shorted. To determine if the short is with one of the speakers or internal disconnect all the speakers and start it up - if you still get the message then it's internal and you will have to take it to a repair shop for a professional diagnostic - extensive electronics experience is required for that.
If you don't then it's one of the speakers. To find out which just connect them one at a time until you get the error and replace the failed speaker.
SOURCE: Overload?
I was recently on the Pioneer site researching this receiver. They just happen to have a few suggestions for trouble shooting this particular problem. I think you have to have cookies enabled to view this link. Hope it helps ya. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/support/knowledgebase/0,,2076_310069579,00.html

Check all speaker wiring for shorts. If nothing is found, unit obviously has circuit problems, have serviced.
SOURCE: display shows overload and receiver shuts down
This means that one (or maybe more) of the amplifiers is shorted. Remove all speakers cables and try again. If you get the same message that means that one (or more) amplifiers is fried. To find which and why you will have to open the unit and test the amplifiers.
Testimonial: "Thanks for the advice, it was very helpful."
you'll need to do a master reset of the device

www.retrevo.com/support/Vizio-L32-TVs-manual/id/512dj084/t/2Generally speaking, an amp protects itself from heat, shorts and overloads. Check for loose speaker connections.
Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.
You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.
If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.
If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'naked'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced hands-on tech.
