Like on the Sony eSupport website, it said if the unit is playing on maximum volume, it will make the system go to protect, or would drain the output capacitors

SOURCE: Power shuts off when CD/tuner/Tape Button is pressed

check your wires for your speakers/sub. when i added an extention to the wires for my stereo, if they become loose or rub together they short out the system and it will shut off like mine did

Sony HCD-GT222 Hi-Fi CD and cassette deck with tuner, suddenly started to shut itself down at volumes higher than 50%, after three years of flawless operation.
It's thermal; protection is happening probably due to bad ventilation. Fuzz and dust can block air vents.These need to be vacuumed out now and then.

Sony Mini - Hi Fi MHC - EC55 won't play CD's. Says it is "Reading" then says "No Disk". I have used lens cleaner and reset factory settings. Any ideas
If you've already tried to clean the lens then with no improvement then its down to the laser having failed.

In some cases these are availble as a replacement part but aren't normally cost effective.

I would have thought that it should go from the amp to the tuner,then the tape deck and finally the CD deck.

I'm suspecting that your tuner is faulty and thats whats causing the system to shut down

Amplifier unit of MHC-W770AV stopped working all of a sudden.
Start with the simple things first, hunt round for fuses near where the mains goes in. Keep on the lookout for anything that looks burned or broken. If there's no power to anything it will be something in the power supply section.
