Protection Hello, I have a Samsung HT-DB120. It's a nice unit, that is untill it quit working. When its in stand by, I go to turn it on and the display says protection. I have some experiance with electronics but I haven't figured this one out. I first checked the fuses, all seem to be ok. Could it be some thing in the IC, Power supply? I don't know, any suggestions would be great . Thanks in advance, Joe

Try disconnecting the speakers one at a time. You may have a shorted speaker. If all are disconnected and it still does not come on, then, you probably have a shorted output.

Protection

Protection means the unit is detecting a short somewhere. Disconnect speakers and components and attempt to power on the unit again. If it will power on with nothing connected, repeat the process (turn off, connect something, then power on) until you find the bad component or speaker.

HT-WP38

cheapest and most logical start to the solution is to replace the optical block. looks like its focal point is drifting at a certain temp.almost impossible to pick up that problem without having that problem before. if i can advise,when you recieve the new part, unsolder the small bridgepiece that they put in for protection. if you dont, the unit will never work.
