What to do when your Onkyo goes into Protect Mode?

Leave the speaker and audio cables disconnected. Turn the receiver on and turn the volume to the maximum setting. Leave the receiver on for 30 seconds. If the receiver shuts off and goes back into protect mode you will need to contact your Onkyo dealer. Turn the volume back to the minimum setting and turn off the receiver.

How many years should an Onkyo receiver last?

Leave the speaker and audio cables disconnected. Turn the receiver on and turn the volume to the maximum setting. Leave the receiver on for 30 seconds. If the receiver shuts off and goes back into protect mode you will need to contact your Onkyo dealer. Turn the volume back to the minimum setting and turn off the receiver.
