"Protect" Flashing W/ Terminator:Salvation - Blu-ray Forum

jbute2k2 · 12-15-2009, 02:43 AM

This has not happened to me for a very long while. You can see my set up in my sig but my sony receiver would flash "PROTECT" and mute my audio during loud scenes during Terminator: Salvation (granted I was watching it somewhat louder than normal). I am guessing this is because it is trying to "protect" my speakers. My question is would this happen if I upgraded my front speakers to the Polk Monitor 60 or 70s? Is it because my speakers cant handle it or because my receiver cant???

ANY info/suggestions/insight would be great!
Thanks ahead y'all.

You are likely hitting a power or heat threshold. Do you have the receiver well ventilated?

It's sitting on a glass tv stand by itself about 2 feet from my tv. Should I move it else where?

It is your amp that is suffering. Glass is not always your amp's best friend.

Make sure your connections are sound. I had mine do that when my cat had managed to trip over my wire and pull out a single strand of the wire and it would go into protect mode with the volume up.

Your reciever is protecting itself from recieving a message from Skynet to blow up your house. Don't worry, it's working properly... for now.

So are you still getting video while the receiver is flashing "PROTECT"?

jbute2k2 · 12-15-2009, 06:07 PM

Yeah the video is there. It literally turns the volume all the way down and if don't do anything it turns off the receiver. But if I turn the volume up just a little to something just above "Min." it will stop the whole "Protect" issue. If I let it be and it turns off the receiver then when I turn it on the volume is all the way down and I can turn it back up.
