Hi i have a problem with my denon avr-1508, it started to go into protect mode after about 5 minutes of playing. I checked two power regulators 7815 and 7915. I checked the voltage on 7915 in and its 23.5v and gives out 15.4v but the 7815 Has only 21.3 and gives out 14.4v i chenged.the diodes but still it didnt help. I don't have any idea what to do :(
Tried changing the 7815 and 7915 nothing changed

I'm thinking heat. Generally speaking, an amp protects itself from heat, shorts and overloads by refusing to turn on or stay on. Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up. You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it. If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good. If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'naked'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced hands-on tech.
