It's a Sony.

I unplugged all of the wires from the receiver, unplugged it (overnight) and then plugged it into a different outlet this moring. I'm still getting the Protect message. I assume the receiver is shot. It's over 15 years old.

Thanks John. I'll try unpugging it. I'll check the speaker connections again too. If neither work, is there anything else it can be ?

I went to turn on my receiver to watch a dvd and Protect is flashing. No sound will not come on. I looked in the manual and it says that it means that there is a short somewhere. I disconnect each speaker one by one and tried to turn on the receiver but I always got the Protect...

Jason Castro looks and sounds like John Travolta.

I didn't see Samantha Sidley last night. What happened to her ? I thought she was great.

Ron, What about taking Xanax instead of Valium ?

Thanks Scott. If Lowes or HD doesn't have it them I'll get it online.

I'm pretty sure it's one of these two: Irritrol: Toro:

Thanks Dennis. The solenoid has 2 black wires coming off it going to other wires that are capped. When I put the new one in does it matter which wire from the solenoid goes to the other capped wires ? From what I could see there were no marking on the solenoid to distinguish one wire from...

Dennis, Could you post a picture of what it looks like ? Is it the piece where 2 wires are coming out of ? Where could I get a new one from ? This is what mine looks like. How much of this (or all) do I need to replace ?

I turned the valve for zone 3 manually and they did come on. I switched the zone 3 wire in the control box to zone 4 but it still didn't come on. I also checked for loose connections in the valve box. Now what ?

NY and yes I get my sprinklers blown out every fall.

Thanks Scott I know exactly what you are talking about. My box is green as well. Hopefully, it's just a loose wire somewhere.

Scott, I've been checking for puddles and don't see any. That zone suppose to come on for 40 minutes so if it was a leak I think I would have seen it by now. Where is the valve box located ? Is it the underground box ?
