"Protect" feature increasingly activated.

My setup has been working fine for the past few years. About 6 months ago, the "protect" feature activated itself (shut off all audio coming from the reciever) at a particularly dynamic part of a DVD we were watching (Lord of the Rings, I think). I shut off the unit and turned it back on, and finished watching the movie wthout any problem. Now, the "protect" feature is becoming increasingly activated, and at levels that are less and less dynamic, to the point where I cannot truly take advantage of DVD audio tracks. The manual only briefly mentions the "protect" feature, and then only in reference to troubleshooting no speaker output when initially setting up the reciever. I have checked all connections and everything is good, plus nothing has changed (no components added or removed) since the problem started. Playing music does not seem to cause the same problem.

You may have an output transistor gone bad and it is trying to run on one good transistor since they commonly are used in pairs (one positive and one negative). Time for a trip to the shop. Good luck.

The motor may have a thermal protect feature built in. Opens circuit when too hot. This is to protect motor and to prevent a fire. If you can check for lint build up around motor. Also, motor could be on it's way out.

Best Windows Registry Tweak Program to protect your online security

I have been using this program for years to help protect me against online spyware it allows you to easily and safely tweak to remove and protect from known vehicles used to infect your PC from Spyware. Latest version v3.97-8 available at the authors website.

http://www.xp-antispy.org/downloads/xp-AntiSpy_setup-english.exe

The bonus feature is that you can save your existing profile as a back up if you tweak too far.

Works on 2000, XP, Vista and 7 the latest version v3.97-8 does have http://www.ebay.de/ sponsorship but that's fine and causes no problems if you don't want this install an earlier version v3.97-6 is without the Bonus Tweaks and German e-bay search at the bottom

If you would prefer not to install the latest version with the sponsorship I have created a

antispy.regtweaks

file for the miscellaneous tweaks so you can stick with the non-ebay version if you like

Also included is the EventID 4226 Lvlord Patch to improve your P2P filesharing increasing from 10 to 50 should do the trick this is a extra included don't use it unless you use P2P

Protect error on agv8500

Hi there. I have the same unit. A darn nice piece of hardware. A couple of months back I noticed my cooling fan making noise. A few days ago I got the "PROTECT" message and the unit wouldn't power up. I turned it off for three days and it started playing again. Now I'm pretty sure it went into protect mode because it overheated. I just tried finding a Teac replacement fan and didn't see one on the web. My solution will be to adapt a small computer-type fan onto it to keep things cool. It works too well to let it die! Good Luck, Gborchers. GROGSTER

Onkyo ts595 goes into protect mode with volume increase

Hold the VCR/DVR button in and press the ON/OFF Standby button. The display should briefly read CLEAR and then the unit switches off. If that clears protect mode, you'll need to redo the Audyssey and configuration setup as these will have been cleared by the reset.
