"PROTECT" means that the unit's thermal protection units were activated, which in turn cut off output power to the speakers. The causes for this vary. Usually, it's a problem with the impedance load that the speakers present to the power amplifier inside the receiver. Occasionally, the circuit acts up and activates itself, or playing the unit too loudly has blown a fuse. First, check all the user servicable fuses. You'll find their location and amperage rating in the user's manual. If they're broken, replace them. Make sure that none of the bare wire from any speaker is touching any bare wire from any other speaker. If the unit still won't power up, then I'm afraid you'll have to take it into the shop for evaluation by a qualified repair technician. Best of Luck.

After playing a CD that was scratched pretty badly in my CD player, the display flashed the word, "PROTECT." Now the none of the settings work and it does not play any music or any sound what-so-ever. I've tried shutting off the car and I've tried other CD's...and it still will not work. Even the radio doesn't work. It just continues to flash "PROTECT" at me.
