[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 151063, member: 1776"] I don't really know electronics, but I do know google! :LOL2: "The protect indication means the amplifier is overloading and has gone into protect mode. This is a power management circuit that has detected excessive current or power consumption in the output stages. The could be caused by a short on the speaker line, a shorted woofer in one of the speakers or dried out silicon grease on the insulating washer of the output transistor (which happens frequently in old amplfiers). You will burn out the output transistors if you keep pushing the amp. You really should get it fixed. "Protect means the unit has a short circuit somewhere. The protection is to keep it from self distruction. Could be a power supply failure. Could be an amplifier module failure. Could be a shorted electrolytic cap in the power supply ripple filter. Could be a wire touching where it shouldn't, etc. " [/QUOTE]
