5 minutes loud then "protect" then "standby", now will not start back up, what good did protect do?
Much Thanks,

Did you turn off the power at the outlet for some hours, to let it cool down, before powering up again?

Yes Sir,
Thank you for getting back to me.
I let it sit overnight, and went through troubleshooting guide. I think I have a cold solder joint and will have to have it serviced.
Much Thanks,
Snakehouse

I suspect you've blown out (overloaded) the speakers or the drivers. I'm not sure how to fix it except to locate the bad parts and replace them. Some drivers and speakers have fuses.

Dear Perito,
Thank you, I don't have any fuses. I brought it to the shop. It will be fun and expensive, ouch! To find out what I did. I called the people I bought it from and they said I pushed it too hard. I'm pushing 11 nht classics with it, full tilt, and I disobeyed "protect" warning. That is when "protect" came on, audio shut down, and video stayed on. Then curiosity killed the cat. All shut down. I figured cool that's how protect works. I guess. I thought it would cool down, recover, and all would be well, wrong. Well, seller does does not think, anything real bad happened. But, no fuses, have to bring it in. What a pain in the a__!
