Kenwoods are notorious for this, pull your deck out. i 80% promise that all of you have a ground or a blown speaker,
you need to take the deck out and unplug the harness,
with a test light NOTE!! ALWAYS USE A COMPUTER SAFE TEST LIGHT, YOU DONT WANT TO BLOW YOUR COMPUTER!! hook up the red side to the an exposed part of the yellow wire on your sterio wire harness, it has to be connected to the actuall wire inside for it to work if you have to strip a peice of this off do so but tape it back up when your done. probe the white, grey, green, and purple wires with the tip of the test light, and i almost guarentee you will find a wire that lights up your light, the color of wire indicates which speaker you blew.
white-left front speaker
grey-right front speaker
green-left rear speaker
purple-right rear speaker,
do both of the same color wire,
Have you checked the radio fuse and the fuse in the fuse box

Protect is a mode where there is no output whatsoever to save from frying. Something is shorting - end of story. If not in your wireing then internally. The fact that you did reset and it did it again only proves it. Sorry, this has happened to me before too.
