Overload Problem with Onkyo TX-SR500 Receiver

I have a new problem with my Onkyo TX-SR500 receiver (it's served me really well over the years--in typical Murphy's Law fashion, this happened just as I'm thinking about upgrading). Last night I was watching a DVD and it briefly spiked the system. Normally my receiver handles this just fine; this time the protection circuitry kicked in and the receiver. Now the standby light keeps blinking and when you turn it on, it instantly turns it off. I already looked in the manual on what to do and it says contact the service center. Is there a way to reset this? Thanks to anyone who knows what to do about this without sending it off for weeks to some service center in Michigan.

Re: Overload Problem with Onkyo TX-SR500 Receiver

Try unplugging it for awhile. Don't just turn off the surge protector, but actually unplug it for 30 minutes or so. Then plug back in and try it. This will reset things sometimes. If this doesn't work, you may need to take it to a shop. Because of the way it happened, it's not going to be a frayed wire (usual reason for protect mode).
Good luck!
