I need a little help on this one. Did it go into protect after the move or was it in protect mode before? If it went into protect after the move, did it get dropped or roughly handled? Sounds like something got knocked loose in the move. You should be able to open the unit up and check the connections. Reseat all connection whether they look loose or not. Sometimes it only takes a very small bump to get the connector acting up. After reseating all connectors, if it still does not work let us know.

Machine 'protect' msg

his appears to be a very common problem here on the board. It means the unit has shut off the outputs because of either a bad speaker or shorted wire, or some failed part in the amplifier. If the trouble continues after you disconnect the speakers, the unit will require service to diagnose and replace the failed part(s).

I've never worked on this model, but in many brands the amplifier integrated circuit is a common failure. They are often not properly mounted for efficient cooling and burn themselves out. Another typical failure is some power supply part that is under-rated and just goes bad, and this is showing up as the protect failure.

Without a diagram and no direct experience, I can't suggest any specific action you could take, other than checking with a local shop for a repair estimate. (You might try contacting JVC on their website or by phone to see if they have any service bulletins. If something becomes a chronic issue, the manufacturer sometimes extends warranty service to cover the repair. Never hurts to ask!)

System automatically shuts itself off after a few seconds.

I have no Idea, I have My JVC system sitting in a closet. I got it in 2004, and It was working fine, and all of a sudden it stopped and went into protect mode. I have no idea what to do about it.

But this is what I did.

I unplugged it and I let it sit for 24 hours to see if it would Reset the microprocessor, that did nuttin'. So I took it apart ^_^ That was fun! and I checked all the wires for loose connections, and I made sure te cables were in there tight. My unit is a pretty old though, I have a surround sound system, but usually a good blast of canned air may clean the circuit board and the components.

Cheers!

System keeps sayin protect

The word PROTECT appears because there is a short. It can be in your speakers, try running it without the speakers plugged, or look if the wires arent shorting. If it stil ldoes that, its cause there is a short in it, from the output section. The system does that to prevent from damaging the electronic components inside.
