Mike, a short circuit on one or more of your speaker channels has been detected and has activated the amp's protective device.  Turn off the amp, eliminate the short, and switch back on.

Hi JT

This is my first time asking for help as you seem to be the only person who may be able to help.

I have the above system and it is flashing 'protect' I have tried to disconnect all the speakers and sub to try isolate the problem however even with everything disconnected the system still shows 'protect'. I have replaced the fuse in the plug and have opened up the system and can only see one fuse which is not blown.

Is ther anything else you may know?

If not is it even worthwhile getting it fixed?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

sounds like it may have a " reset " switch somewhere.

Hi Shaun,

Hmm... If you've removed all external connections from the amp and switched it off and back on and the Protect message still flashes then it does point to a fault with the internal circuitry somewhere, but that's as much as I know.

As to whether is worthwhile fixing, you'll have to do some research and find out the likely cost of an investigation and repair and compare that to the cost of replacing the amp with something new that meets your needs.

Regards,

Jules.

no, just checked again inside and out there is nothing to indicate a reset switch

ok,

is there a switch to change impedance of the speakers from 4 ohm to 8 ohm ?, if its set to wrong impedance would cause the protect to light up.
