Running four S70 Siroccos off the amp, everytime volume gets halfway the protection is cutting in with protection light flashing three times? When reducing down to two speakers amp cuts out three quarters...

You are overloading your amp. IMO 640A cannot handle heavy loads.

Better change the speaker combo and connect something that puts right load on the 640A. Else, get a meaty amp from CA.

I have a red protection light flashing whenever i try to work my amp and i was just wondering what the solution is or how to reset it, thanks

Normally this means that the power supply or the load is incorrect.
Have you very low impedance speakers ?
Have you tried disconnecting speakers from amp and powering it on.
If it does and you do not get any protection light you need to investigate your speakers.

Cambridge azur amp 640a working brill till yesterday !! now protection light !!!! turned it off numerous time etc plenty of venterlation carnt get it to work

Looks like the fuse blown.. or the classic symptom of electrical fault inside the amp. 640A uses a sensitive protection circuit often ends up in this irritating situation. Normally, there is nothing much you can do, but just check your wall plug connection for Open Ground or Left & Neutral reversed issues. If the wall plug is free of error, then you should better contact CA technical support.

Despite having disconnected all the speaker cables, protection light keeps flashing

HI...
ALL speakers need to be connected. and if this has settings for 2 sets of speakers , , use the A spkr setting and the A output connects.
If still flashing , try just headphones. If still bad, it will need service.
PLease rate my help if this helps

I have cambridge audio azur 640a amp. Problem I have is only the one speaker is working. Both speakers seem to be ok working off the left speaker terminal. Seems to be problem with output from right...

The fault is on the amp! It sounds like the protection circuit is detecting a surge on the channel and shuts it down to protect the speaker. I would check the semiconductor device(s) for the right channel on the heatsink of the amp. You might even see damage of burning on one!

Protection overload and the system shuts off

check your speaker wires for short, try to turn it on without speakers connected, if all connections and speakers seem ok the problem is internal witch can go from blown power supply to shorted output devices and everything in between , and as always look for repair shop in your area, do not attempt to do it yourself, fire hazard and electric shock are the things we all want to avoid ;)
