Try tapping it on the top or sides with your hand or fist, I was told this buy a body of mine, That has been a (Electronic) Tech for over 20 years now, Tap it fairly hard,It has work for me with recievers And amps to get them out of the (Protection mode.What causes them to go into (Protect) Is a short in a speaker lead or the speaker wire come disconected some how,Or there could of been a power surge.
Hello, if you have the manuals, go to page 54 or at this site http://www.docs.sony.com/release/LBTLX9AV.PDF if not try resetting them, for the 10av. It says to unplug it, plug it back in(I'd wait like 10 secs), then press clock set-enter-on/off at the same time. Keep in mind when you reset you will lose all saved information. Ok, This is all I found so far. I would try the reset instructions on both units. I can't find the manual for the ZX 10D.
Remove speaker wires and try again. If it still goes into protect mode, the problem is internal...shorted power transistors or some other fault. Check fuses also.
It indicates a problem with the speaker connections.
Check that all connections are correctly done.
You need to unplug the receiver when checking the connections.
It is unlikely that the pushing of buttons caused the problem. The protect flashing means that a problem was detected and the system has shutdown to prevent further damage. The most common cause of this is a failure of the output transistors. Plan on a parts cost between $20-$40 for this repair.
I discovered that there is a compatiblilty problem between the Bose receiver and the Sony amplifier. If I disconnect the receiver from the amp then the amp starts up normally. Apparently the receiver sends out a dc offset or a "thump" that the amplifier doesn't like and goes into protection mode. I solved the problem by putting a 1 second delay circuit between the receiver startup and the amplifier startup. A simple RC delay on the remote input to the amplifier solved the problem.
I have had this problem several times with Sony receivers in the past. The issue may be frustrating but these receivers are idiot proof. It is doing you a favor by tripping and not setting your house on fire as well.
Explanation:
Many things like improper wire crossing or touching due to too much of the insulation stripped off can cause this. Thunder storms and power surges as well have been known do this to Sony receivers.
Solution:
Unplug the unit and remove the cover. Look for any blown fuses as sometimes this is the problem. Take the fuse to a Radioshack to find new ones. However, it is likely you will need to take it in for repairs. This usually costs around $100. Find a local electronics repair shop in your area ( "TV Reapir in the yellow pages") or call Sony to send it to them.
You might be trying to push it too hard, or you might have a short somewhere. Disconnect everything from the reciever except its power cord and turn it on. If it still goes into protect mode, then try to find a reset switch (not sure if this is on the Sony, some recievers have them). If it's NOT in protect mode, then you had a speaker wire shorting out on the back. Make sure that you don't have any stray wires when you connect the cables on the back of your receiver. It only takes one strand of copper to short out the amp section. If that doesn't work then pull the top cover off and chech the fuses out. One of them might be blown.
I went through the amp/receiver and used small star washers on all the grounding screws I could find including the one securing the transformer, cleaned dust off all circuit boards, checked output transistors and fuses, all OK.
Re Assembled unit and it worked OK.
I will buy a fan and fan it to avoid sourcing heatsinks for the previusly suggested IC's.
Thanks for the technical help, sure solved my problem.
