The product you're inquiring about is not showing in your post.

Generally speaking, an amp attempts to protect itself from heat, shorts, overloads and operator exuberance by refusing to turn on or stay on.

Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output or marginally low impedance loading by the speakers; 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 and competent hands-on tech.

I have a Royal Sovereign ARP-9411 Air Conditioner that is not cooling. On the display it says 14. I have tried to drain the water from the unit, make sure that the drain was correct, clean the filter and...

Not familiar with that particular unit, but some units have a float switch in the trap of the drain plumbing (to protect against condensate overflow). Upon a blockage the switch cuts off power to the unit. This switch can be bypassed, at least for testing if you don't have an ohmmeter. If there is a switch, just remove from the switch from the circuit and connect back the wires without the switch. switches are connected in series, power goes in one end and comes out the other.

After turning ON the power/standby switch, the unit(receiver) display comes ON (green light) then after approx.4-5 seconds the display goes OFF and the unit defaults back to the standby mode (red light). I...

Is the red light flashing at first?
The unit may be going into protect mode. Lets hope it has done the job and the receiver has protected itself from failure.
Protect mode can result from speaker wires touching each other or the Amps2_bing.gif metal case. Check that first.
It can also be caused by unstable ohm loads if too many speakers2_bing.gif are connected to any of the outputs especially zone 2.
If you can remove all speaker wires and turn the unit back on. If it stays on, turn the volume down on the main zone and zone 2 if connected. Then reconnect speaker wires.

Technics F61 error, can you please tell me what this means?

F61 is the "shorthand" for protection mode for Technics units. Either the regulator IC or the output AMP-PAC IC has failed. Expect a parts cost between $40 -$100 for the repair depending upon which IC has failed.

Hello Protection Samsung HT-DS900

When your home theater's display reads PROTECTION, it means the home theater is over heating and the unit will shut down to prevent any damage. This can happen if the unit is stacked along with other electronic devices or the unit is in an enclosed area that prevents the unit from cooling properly. To decrease the chance of overheating, relocate your home theater to a more open area.



If the home theater display reads PROTECTION every time you turn it on, no matter where or how the unit is placed, it needs service. To set up service call Samsung Customer Care at 1-800-SAMSUNG (1-800-726-7864). Have your model number and serial number on hand to set up service.

"Protect" error - HTZ110

Home Theater System Is Displaying "Protection" spacer.gif As soon as the unit is turned on, the word "PROTECTION" will flash on the front panel of the unit and SHUT OFF. This error message usually indicates that the fan in the back of the unit is not on.

The PROTECTION feature automatically shuts down the unit to avoid further damage. The unit will need service if this error message is displayed.

My xd-551 displays protection when i switch it on, how do i fix it

When the unit displays protection immediately, that indicates an amplifier failure - which is not a consumer repair.

Weight out the value of the unit vs. replacement cost vs. repair cost. You'll most likely find that replacement is the most economical route.

Hi,

Take every single cable out of the unit, now power on the unit.

If the power protection still shows then there is an internal fault, usually a short or a component defect.

If it powers on ok, switch off and insert 1 speaker at a time and power on the unit until the protection mode comes on again, the last speaker you have put in has overloaded it for some reason, also as you are trying each speaker use the volume and bass controls to see if there is an internal overload.

Thats as much as I can offer you until you narrow the fault down to the unit or one of the speakers.

Cheers
