I have an Onkyo TX-SV717 Pro --my neighbors 1yr old turned the volume to the max while watching a movie---it went into protect mode and now when we are watching anything even at lover volume it will go in and out of protect mode?? Any way to resest system?? Thank you much!

It is picking up DISTORTION and is going in to shutdown mode.... (protecting your system) play it at 44 or less... not because it's BLEURAY that it's perfect, the level and quality varies from one recording to another... think of a cuttoff just like a car engine when someone tries to go over the dangerous level of RPM's... the engine cutt's off...

Hi...
If you try JUST headphones (spkrs off), does it still go into protect?
If so, I would say ( from my previous 50 or so receivers) that it needs new power supply capacitors
If not, either one of your spkrs is faulty or they arent connected solidly at both ends

Generally, this happens when there's a loose connection somewhere, either internally, or with the connections. It usually happens when the volume's too loud, and it tries to protect itself.

I'd suggest you unplug everything from it, check all the speaker wires, and then try turning it on, without any devices connected to it.

If it works, turn it off, and reconnect devices, one by one. That should fix it.

If not, it's likely that there's a loose solder inside, and it needs to be sent out for service.

Just check your speaker cabling again. Make sure that all of them are seated properly, none is touching each other or the body of receiver. Rewire if necessary..
Are you using banana plugs for connecting speaker or just directly. Some times even a little tiny wire touching the receiver could trigger the protect mode. Be careful, since protect mode is sometimes not fast enough and it could blown a few trasistors in the power circuit.

Otherwise, do your bose speakers play out load on other systems?

Hello.You have shorted audio outputs. One of your channels has shorted output transistors. If your unit uses output ICs then one of them is shorted. Both types ( individual transistors or ICs ) are located on the large finned heat sink. The parts are available from http:\\www.tritronicsinc.com. good luck

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.

How do you have it hooked up to speakers (are you using a center channel)? What listening mode are you in (dolby digital, stereo, pro-logic...)? It sounds as though you're not getting center channel info....

Audio amplifier IC's damaged you need to change it.Good luck
