Why is Denon avr-x500 not in Prot mode?

What are the capacitors on a Denon avr-x500?
Turned the set off, discharged the tank capacitors using a two 2.2K 10W Resistors, which were in series and covered by insulation tape, specially made for such uses, as per guidelines of Jestine Yong. See Picture below: By that time, I got the service manual in PDF format.

Why is my avrx500 amplifier in protection mode?
I got this AVRX500 Amplifier Receiver with the complaint that it was going to Protection Mode. Red Power LED was blinking after the power on, when preliminary display round is over. Checked and found that the complaint was accurate. Opened the set and looked for any bulgy capacitors or any visible damages. None!

Why does my Denon AVR keep shutting off?
My Denon AVR 15-13 5.1 receiver has developed the habit of randomly shutting itself off causing the power light to blink red at an interval of twice a second. I disconnected all the speakers and peripherals, even the subwoofer, but it still keeps shutting off.
How does DC protection work on Denon avr-x500?
The DC protection circuit was getting feed back from front Right and Left Channel, Surround Right and Left Channels, and Centre out, I.e., all the amplifier outputs. So, my first attempt was isolating the protect path by removing one side of jumper wires that go.
