The audio amplifier IC of your device are damaged you need to replace it.
SOURCE: I have a Technics SA-GX470.
I have not solved it yet. I did find a similar schematic of another model. I have gone over the entire board checking connections first. What I see is the minus 14 volt regular running very hot. The voltage is OK but there is something drawing a lot of current. The plus side is cool. I am in the process of looking at all the loads on it but believe it may be the main power module. This unit has two modules with the main one for the left and right speakers and another that is for the center and surround speakers. It is cool and guess the the main one may be bad. Panasonic is the only source for this one and that is doubtful. The prices I have found is around $60 and a little expensive to buy and just try. I am going to make sure it is the problem before I recommend they spend that much up front. Technics is a low end Panasonic product and I have found this to be a very troublesome unit as well as others. It's design is complicated as all Panasonic products are. I worked on this unit several years ago and the same problem went away. I suspect one of the output transistors in the module has gone rendering the whole thing bad. Whatever happened to a simple transistor replacement. I will keep you informed.
SOURCE: on switching my technics sa-dx750 it says switching off overload
The question is what is causing the overload? The power supply or the output devices on the heat sink?
If you have accidently shorted a speaker wire, then the answer will be output devices, otherwise it could be anything in the power section. You may find a burnt or damged device with either of the causes.
Check the power relay RL703, I have seen these with burned contacts cause this problem a few times on this unit. Replace relay or bypass the two normally closed contacts.
