AVR X1000 going in protect mode?

I setup the AVR X1000 and used it for about 3-4 hours. Next day, it started going into protect mode. I have unplugged all speaker/HDMI connections, reset the micro, but it still goes into protect mode. I don't have access to a Denon service rep, but a local technician inspected it and mentioned that the OUTPUT is correct, but the DSP area is failing. Unfortunately he doesn't have the service manual (that lists the output parameters, voltages of individual components), so he cant troubleshoot the culprit. Any help or pointer to resolve this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you used it for only 3-4 hours before the problem occurred then you should have a replacement warranty on the product.
I think you have already done the factory reset procedure shown on page 175 of the user manual.
Is it possible to take it to the place you purchased it from. Alternatively check the Denon website and find out who the closest agent is in your locality. Send it back with proof of purchase using a courier service that you can track for receipt. Hope it turns out well.

SOURCE: Denon AVR-810 going into PROTECTION mode

It sounds like there is a problem with the differential circuit. The bias I am not sure about, as every unit is different. You should get the service manual to be sure or call Denon and see if they can give you an idea. Good Luck

Make sure you have receiver switched to proper input as coax rather than digital

SOURCE: no HDMI video output from AVR-588 receiver to plasma TV ???

You can also use a digital coax cable (color orange) to go into coax 1 for DVD coax 2 for cable box. Just make sure to set the coax in input settings. The coax cables are a little cheaper than the optical cables and work just as well.

SOURCE: Cant Access System Setup on Denon AVR-588

Are you connected with video cables to a tv or "monitor" this is more than likely were the setup is visible for speaker configuration, input assignment etc, most denon receivers work this way so I would suspect you need to re-check the video connection until a set-up picture appears.

SOURCE: connection problem with HDMI cables on Denon AVR-589

Hi dmsgolfer22,

If your Time Warner Cable box is old enough that it has a DVI output it may have HDCP (copy protection issues) with the receiver. If you are having to use a DVI to HDMI adapter to connect to your receiver (output from Cable Box to input on Receiver) then it's very likely your cable box may have may not output the signal because it detects the HDMI repeater in the receiver.

The two best options to correct this are:
1. Connect the DVI to HDMI cable directly to the input on the TV, you lose the convenience of the video switching in the TV, but it will solve the problem. Then connect the digital audio output from your cable box to the receiver, although you've probably already done this.

2. Contact your cable provider and check into the possibility of them swapping out your cable box for a newer model that would have an HDMI output. This would be the best option since the HDMI output on the cable box would give you both the Digital Audio and Video through a single HDMI cable.

Let me know how it works out for your, or if you have any questions.

Denon AVR-X2400H Intermittent Protection Mode on startup

The clue I think is the fact the problem gets worse after being switched off. One cause could be leaking capacitors, the big ones in the the power supply. They hold a charge, but if they leak the charge is lost and they do that when the power is off. The only other I can think of is a voltage regulator. But I think that would blow a fuse. So I would get your guy to replace the caps.

My watch is 3 hours and 5 minutes off its a shp8948

1. Since all of the settings seem to go through the start/stop button, hold it down for three seconds to put it in "set the watch mode" (when the seconds at the bottom start blinking).
2. Do a quick press of the start/stop button to move from seconds to minutes to hours to years to months to days. The mode button subtracts & the reset button adds.
3. Setting alarms & so on require putting it alarm mode via the mode button. Use the reset button to move to the selected alarm (1-5). 
4. Hold the start/stop button for three seconds to "set the alarm mode."
5. Quickly press the start/stop button to between things to set (kind of alarm, hours, minutes).
6. Again, the mode button subtracts & the reset button adds.
7. A three-second press of the start/stop button exits the setup mode.

AVR-1508 7.1 Channels Receiver: My Denon AVR-1508 won't stay on. Once I try to tak...

Not familiar with this model but seems like the protection circuit is kicking in, this could be caused by an imbalance of Ohms between channels or a short. remove & check all speakers and cables for continuity or shorts, does the unit power on without speakers or in a different mode (surround off).
always add speakers in pairs (L&R) before testing to prevent possible protection circuit, test main speaker pair first then add surrounds (all according to the allowable Ohms range for the amp of course)

Protection mode

The protect mode with nothing connected indicates that the output transistors for one or more channels are shorted. These will need to be checked and replaced. This is a simple repair for an experienced audio shop, Figure about $10 for each output transistor and add in another $10-$15 for misc parts that may also be smoked.

Just hooked it up and when we turn it on it shuts its self off avr254 harmon kardan

It seems it is going into protection mode....

Please disconnect all speaker, input wires and unplug the AVR from the mains. Wait 5 minutes and restart without connecting any cables.

If it starts , you are lucky. You might be required to reset the microprocess, if any.

Now unplug and start connecting the wires. Please ensure that you are not touching the wires with the AVR or with each other.
Hope fully .... you will be able to enjoy your HT.

Let me know if the above doesnot work.
Please rate this solution and thanks for using FixYa!

I have a Harman Kardon AVR 235 Receiver that go's into Protect

To avoid making the avr go into protect mode when you power up your Hafler 4000 that is connected in the avr's pre-out, you must power up the set up in the correct sequence.

1. Turn off your avr
2. Connect Hafler 4000 to the avr's pre-out it it is not yet connected
3. Turn on your Hafler 4000. The avr will not go into protect mode becasue of the transients from the Hafler because it is still not powered on.
4. Turn on you avr. There should be no more transients from the Hafler at this stage unless it is not functioning correctly, so the avr shouldno longer go into protect mode.

Shutdown protection? HELP please

All of the Denon recievers I have repaired (over 100) that shut down after a very short time are going into protect mode. The display lights up and after about 10 seconds the display goes out and the standby led blinks red.
I have found that they have one of 3 possible problems and they all require that the reciever be taken apart and fixed at component level. No way to tell what your problem is until it gets put on a bench and troubleshot.

Problem 1. This is the most common problem. One of the front channels shorts out. On the big heat sink the front channels are at each end. It is the front left channel (close to the display) This requires that the output transistors be replaced as well as some driver transistors and some resistors and a capacitor. Lots of work for a blown channel. Denon has put out a bullitin to upgrade the bias transistor and change a couple of resistors to help compensate for this failure. That channel overheats more than any other channel.

Problem 2. There is a resistor that is right next to the preamp board that opens up. It is a 10 ohm 1 watt resistor and when it opens, it causes the unit to go into protect.

Problem 3. The +12 volt regulator fails. It is in the power supply area on a smal heat sink right next to the -12 volt regulator. Generic part number is KIA7812 It also causes the unit to go into protect.

Most decent repair shops can fix these from about $120 up to about $200. Depending on which problem it is and how fast they are at finding the problem. Most charge labor by the hour.
