Sony STR-DE915 Receover, flashing "Protector" when power on

I have a Sony STR-DE915 Receover. It was flashing "Protector" on the display window when the power was turned on for a few seconds. I could smell burning odor (seems from the big transformer), but did not see any smoking coming out. I have not connected any speaker and component to it.

Can you tell me what's wrong? Is it the power supply problem.

I have a sony str-De915 receiver and my surround sound and subwoofer want play even when I play Dolby pro logic

Check your settings on the unit and also the source of the sound. Sometimes it can get switched to PCM by mistake, or can be interfered with by something like a setting for down-mixing, which should be switched off.

I have a SONY STR DE915 receiver home theater amp. After 14 years, it decides not to power up! Are there internal fuses? Can i replace the power supply myself?

There are internal fuses that you can check. This model was notoriously bad for amp problems. These amps would burn up a lot of components when they go out.

The word Protection blinking.

The protection should only come on if the unit has been overloaded. Try to unplug, wait and replug.
