"protect" (1 Viewer)

[OcieB]

my sony ht-ddw750's receiver has been displaying this recently after i moved it across the room.

according to the manual, "PROTECT" is a sign of a short circuit.... great, but where?

does anyone have any info or suggestions for where i should begin with the troubleshooting process?

any general info would be great also.

thanks in advance,
ocie

Unplug and replug all your cables, taking care all your speaker cables are seated well. If you're using bare wire for your speakers re-twist the strands to make sure none are loose.

Other possibility - does it have less ventilation than it use to? Protect mode can also be a sign of overheating or playing your sources too loud.

i thought about the overheating... but its in the exact same configuration as before (in relation to the tv, table, etc...) just moved across the room. its near an open window (as it was before), so i dont htink its overheating..

i was going to disconnect all the wires and move the receivier to a different part of the room and plug it in to see what happens.

ill then plug everything back in.

a blown tweeter or midrange driver can cause this
