    Denon AVR x2100w Protection Circuit/Mode

    My 2100 was working flawlessly until my 9-year-old was showing off and cranked up the volume super fast up to max volume. It was there for about 5 seconds before it got turned back down. Ever since the protection light will come on when you power on the receiver, but only sometimes. Sometimes it...

    Help me troubleshoot Rotel RA-713 integrated amp

    Hi all, I have this integrated amp. The amplifier circuitry is fully working - I can trace sound all the way to the relay contacts, DC offset is a couple of mV on each channel. The relay works too - I can trigger it externally. The whole protection circuit is turned off - D903 is not biasing...

    Sony STR-6800 SD - diagnosis needed

    Hi, I am trying to get a Sony STR-6800 SD receiver to work. Symptoms are: Sometimes switching to FM engagages the protection relay (sound is interrupted), switching to another source resets the relay Sometimes invoking the muting button on the tuner part (i.e. muting on) engages the protection...

    CR-620 Stuck in Protection Mode

    Gang, I'm the original owner of a CR-620. Never over-worked, and always treated well. The only maintenance performed on it during its life was to clean the pots with Deoxit in attempt to fix "scratchiness", which worked perfectly. Turned it on in August 2018 and, low and behold, the output...

    PA3004 Pin 4 question

    The Pioneer SIP PA3004 protection IC is used in many of their products across all levels of build. My question is what voltage (or current) is needed on pin 4 to trigger the relay output pin 3 to go low and turn off the relay transistor. This questions assumes that all the other inputs are at...

    HELP! Diode identification

    I've been working on this Project One Mark IIIB for weeks now (on and off). Long story short, the protection relay activates on the right channel - mid volume - with or without a load. I have isolated the preamp/amp, swapped amp boards and outputs (left to right), replaced all transistors, all...

    SX-780 Protection Relay Chatters on Startup

    Hello, I have a Pioneer SX-780 that I bought new in 1980 and worked well through the late 90's when it was relegated to a closet. I have since dug it out and I am using it in my office where it works beautifully except for one issue that is more bothersome than anything. On startup the...

    Project One Mark III protection mode

    I took on a project (pardon the pun) for a friend of mine who is trying to get his brother's old Project One Mark III stereo working again and surprise him with it. He initially told me it was "blown." Honestly, I couldn't find any issues other than really grubby switches and frozen meters...

    Marantz 2245 P800 (Protection Circuit) Board Issue

    Good morning. I'm in the process of recapping my 2245 - taking one board at a time - and I've run across an issue I want to ask the experts about. This unit was in really sad shape when I got it, but it WAS working. The power switch needed to be replaced before any additional rebuilding could...

    SA-9100 Protection light on and off

    I have a SA-9100 that recently goes into protection after about 5 minutes. The light will turn on for about 2 seconds, I'll hear the relay, light turns off for about half a second, and then turns back on again. What's more weird is that I'll turn it off for a couple minutes and when I turn it...

    Sony GX59ES... Keeps going into protect?

    Got this one for free, from neighbors cleaning out the basement. It was apparently part of a "stereo system" but... this is all that's left! Wasn't powered on for almost 15 years according to them From the early 90s, 80wpc I believe. Thick metal face, metal knobs. Part of Sony's ES line, which...

    Pioneer SX-2500 and that protection circuit

    Hello all, I have a Pioneer SX-2500 that is giving me (us - if you include a local tech) fits. It plays well up until 1/4 volume, then goes into protection mode. It takes a few seconds and comes back. Now...if I pan only to the right channel, it will rattle the windows in my house. Powerful...
