Sounds like you broke it

Generally speaking, an amp attempts to protect itself from heat, shorts, overloads and operator exuberance by refusing to turn on or stay on.

Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output or marginally low impedance loading by the speakers; and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.

You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.

If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.

If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'naked'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced and competent hands-on tech.

Check for loose speaker connections at the speaker as another possible root cause forintermittent shutdown.

This is similar to a protect message on other units. See the link below for an explanationm of protect. If you have more questions please update this. Any additional details about when this message appears would be helpful as wel.

Thanks,

weak standby power supply. locate those capacitors on the standby power supply .

Hi,

if it,s only downloaded movies, that won,t burn/Write.
I,d assume that the downloaded content, is Copyright Protected.
Other suggestions Are:- your CD/DVD Burner does not support the types of files, that are being downloaded. You could try a Video Converter Program. Or alternatively. Change your DVD Burning Software.

Mike @ compurepair.

Do you mean software to burn DVD's? If so there are a ton of programs out there as a simple Google search will show you. I do have a particular favorite you can find it here.

If you're sure that the AC plug and the voltage regulation is fine, there must be a problem with your amp. You had better get it serviced. There could be couple of blown capacitors; furthermore, you might have your power supply out of duty.
