That's usually protection mode, meaning there is a stray strand of speaker wire crossing over between - and + connections, either on the receiver or a speaker. So, the first thing to do is make sure there are no stray strands or damaged speaker wire. Another thing to try is to disconnect the power from the receiver for a minute, then reconnect it. If neither of those fixes the problem, it's probably something serious that isn't worth the cost of fixing.
