its protection mode a failsafe put in place to shut down the unit in the event of a possible critical failure .......maybe a fuse.......maybe a dead system your budget will decide what your next step is ok good luck

Check for fingerprints or dirt on your DVD. Wipe it clean and try again. Also check for scratches. Try another DVD and see if your system reads it. If it does not try cleaning the drive laser lens with a CD lens cleaner available at places such as KMart or WalMart in the electronic section. If that still does not work chances are you laser on your drive is bad and needs replaced. It will need servicing.

if you look in your local phone directory under tv repairs you will find plenty of techs that fix stereos as well

hop it is just a fuse but remeber in most cases fuses have a good underlying reason to blow

Hi,

Try unplugging the unit for 60 minutes, then plug back in and try it again. This will reset the processor and hopefully the unit will operate normally. Check all the speaker wiring for shorts, make sure they're also not touching the chassis of the receiver, or are not otherwise pinched or frayed. If all looks well, try disconnecting all the speakers and cycle the power off, then on again.
If it power up, try connecting the speakers one at a time until one of them shuts the receiver down. Check this speaker with a multi-meter and make sure it is reading between 4-8 ohms.

If not, the speaker may be blown and is causing the receiver to see a short and therefore power down. The "Protection" will stay lit because of a short inside the unit, and is protecting the rest of the components for further damage. It will automatically disappear once the condition is fixed.

Honestly though, if this is happening already, I would exchange the system as soon as possible or if you have an upgrade option, see if you can get a Philips, or Samsung system as they have better reliability in general based on what I've seen and read.


Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Shibby. heres what to do try not to break it but pry it open with a screwdriver and fidget with the drawer until its aligned

It will only play stations that are BROADCAST in surround sound

The "protect" function is shutting the syetm down to protect the electronic components inside it. Usually caused by a lackof earth in the plug or extension lead. Plug it straight into the wall and check it, if it is still the same then it could be a speaker wiring short circuit, disconnect the speakers and plug it in on its own and test it

you can try to hold the stop button down for 5 seconds while the power is off to reset. If that doesn't work disconnect all the cables from the back expect the speaker cables and the power cable. then turn the unit on and reconnect the cables once the unit is on.

Mine is 5. Press the TV button and let it go. When it quits glowing press the power button and hold it down. Then press a number (1-86) on the keypad while holding the power button down. If the TV turns off, you are done. Press the power button again and the tv should come on. If it does not work. Release the power button for a second and then repeat with a different number until the tv turns off.

The amplifier board is burnt and needs to be replaced

The most common problem found on FixYa for Audio Video Receiver's is:

My receiver say's "Protect" or turns on then off. What's wrong? Seven times out of ten it is a shorted speaker or speaker wire. To determine your exact problem, the first step is to disconnect all speaker wires "at your receiver" Next: Turn the receiver back on. If your receiver still says "protect" or turns off, it needs to be serviced. If your receiver stays on; reconnect your speakers one at a time and power back up after each speaker. You may find that after reconnecting all speaker wires it works! Most commonly the small braids of wire from the + to the - have touched and have caused the problem. In some instances, you noticed the problem only when turning the volume up. either way, make sure the exposed wires to your receiver are no longer than 1/2" long and are completely under the screw down terminal or slide in. When you've found the wire or speaker with the problem, your receiver will go back into "protect" At this point, disconnect the wire from the speaker at the speaker that may be causing the problem then test again.* Note* Make sure speaker wires do Not touch each other as this Will cause a short! If you turn the receiver back on and it stays on, you now know the problem is in your speaker itself. To test your speaker, you will need a multimeter. Set it to ohms resistance and touch the speaker terminals, if there is a short internally the meter will read "1......" If it's an analog meter, it will peg to the right. There's your problem. Now, within any speaker there are quite a few possibilities as to what could be causing the problem. Most common is a blown coil and the speaker needs to be replaced. Some speakers have internal crossovers (usually floor standing speakers) and may have a shorted or burnt board (usually very visible brown burn marks on the board) and can possibly be repaired if your handy with a soldering iron. Now, if you disconnect the speaker wire at the speaker and it still says "protect" Check your wire for the obvious cut or nail thru the wire if possible. If your system has wiring that runs behind walls, you may need to use your meter again. Disconnect the wire at both ends, keep the ends separated, put your meter on ohms resistance and touch probes to the + and - wires at one side. If the meter pegs to the right or reads "1...." the wire is shorted and needs to be replaced or repaired at the short. Hope this helps.

Here's the manual in pdf format. It should tell you what the input voltage is. (I'm assuming that's what you're talking about.

Optical into your XBOX 360? If there is a connector that you are using to convert it, I was start by replacing that.

Hello,

how long have you been using this player? The problem should be from the lens (laser).

The lens is weak and that's why it cannot read/load DVD's. The weak lens is also what's making it say disc error.

Get a lens cleaner and use it to clean the lens, but if the lens still does the same thing even after using the lens cleaner, then it means you would have to change the whole lens completely to a brand new one.

By so doing your player would play all DVD's with no problem at all.

Good luck.

Try manually pushing dvd drawer in after pushing open/close. I opened mine up and noticed the dvd is not spinning - I don't think the drawer is completely closing over. BTW this is not a permanent fix - it doesn't work all the time.

your amp board need to replace , if you can do it yourself , get one from ebay.

can not get tv sound through speakers---can only get sound from dvd

That should not damage the head. I use those cleaning cd's also without problems. Was it working properly before or was there some problem that required cleaning?
