My SONY HT-CT 100 Keeps going into "Protector" mode - even though there's plenty of airspace and the room that it's in is at 65 degrees farenheit

  • bdasjunk Dec 28, 2009

    Thanks! I'm trying what you suggested. I'm also plugging the unit directly into the wall first (it was in a cheap surge suppressor initially). I've disconnected all the devices from it first and am trying to see if it works while plugged into the wall directly.

    If it does work, I'll use your recommendation and plug in the devices one at a time (one is a TIVO HD Box, the other is a Sony BD player).

    Well, that test lasted 12 minutes -- I plugged it directly into the wall and disconnected all the devices and the unit went into Protector mode in 12 minutes. Looks like I have a dud unit. Darn!

Protector mode does not just react to ambient temp. Try unplugging all the speakers from the back of the unit and turning it on. If it continues to go into protect mode, it is most likely a bad power supply or possibly a bad D/A circuit. If it does not go into protection mode when the speakers are disconnected, try hooking up one speaker at a time (while the unit is off) If the unit faults again when you turn it back on, it should point toward a bad speaker or crossed wires.

Air is not cooling

You might be feeling an increase in temperature coming out of the case in comparison to room temperature. I believe the problem you are experiencing is that computer is cooling itself down just from a higher temperature than you might expect hence the warm air. Download the program speedfan and check the temperature of your cores, they may be as high as 100 degrees farenheit, Don't worry about it too much unless you're actually overheating, if its a laptop make sure the bottom of the laptop isn't resting on anything solid as it severely reduces airflow in and out of the case making it heat up.

I just purchased a kenwood a/c a couple of weeks ago it's a G130EK, 13,000 btu and it doesn't cool anything not even a 12 x 12 room. There is an opening that leads to a bigger room , but the...

Air conditioners generally cool the air 15 to 20 degrees. 80 degrees in return should be 65 in supply. 70 degrees in return should be 55 in supply. If the a.c. is in that range it is working fine and doing all it is going to do.

I just installed a honeywell 5-2 progammable thermostate.. Everything is hooked up fine and I have my days, hours wake, sleep, leave...etc all set, but when it goes on.. for example, I have it set for...

You didn't include a model number, so it's hard to know for sure - but I'll take a stab at this one. Many of these t-stats have a programmable offset to reduce "hunting". This can be as little as 1 degree or more than 2 degrees.

This means if you set the offset to 1 degree and the room temperature to about 65 degrees, the furnace will heat the room until the t-stat registers a rising temperature of 66 degrees. The furnace shuts off and will not turn on again until the t-stat registers a falling temperature of 64 degrees. The average is 65 degrees, and prevents the furnace from starting and stopping numerous times instead of just once with the 1 degree offset.

You can further reduce the number of furnace start and stops by increasing the offset to 2 degrees. This would work like this when the t-stat is set to 65 degrees and the room is cool:

Room Temp Furnace
63 On
64 On
65 On
66 On
67 On
68 Off

The room is now warm and heat or furnace is off. The room begins to cool like below:

67 Off
66 Off
65 Off
64 Off
63 Off
62 On

With a 1 degree offset, the room temperature varies +/-1 degree (about 2 degrees total). With a 2 degree offset, the temperature about varies +/ -2 degrees (about 4 degrees total).

Also, when the thermostat shut the heat off, the heat that was made is delivered to the space instead of wasted by sending outdoors - so the room will get a little warmer even though no fuel is being burned. The same holds true at the other end. When the t-stat turn heat on, fuel is burned, but there's little heat until the source has reached the optimum temperature and then the heat is delivered to the space.

I hope this helps & good luck! Pleas rate my reply - thanks!

My sony 52" keeps cutting

You may have bad power and your TV may be reacting to voltage drops or spikes. Is your TV powered through any kind of conditioner, surge supressor or filter? If not, you should consider getting one even if its only a $100 item. Stay away from standard or computer power strips though. Make sure it is not overheating and you have plenty of cooling space around the TV both to the sides and back, if it starts to overheat it will shut down. Or it could be a panel or internal board error. You'll need to get Sony tech to diagnose the problem. Are you getting any blinking lights when it shuts down? these are a code for the techs to let them know what to start looking at .

As I can improve the yield of refrigeration of the digging, it is already difficult to maintain the indicated temperature

Here is the breakdown on this machine by temperature - it only works optimally in a room that is 68-70 degrees, which is a little on the cold side:

to actually reach 7 degrees Celsius, the room temp must be 68 degrees Farenheit or below
to reach 9 C, room must be 70 F or below
to reach 11 C, room must be 72 F or below
ETC...

all problems with this wine cellar will be aggravated during the summer months

Cannot set heat setting by using "hold" feature

make sure it is not telling you room temp, some of the Honeywells, will display room temp over desired temp. check that, if it wont let you switch temp than buy a new one, if you dont have a heat pump a new cheap stat is around 20.00.
