Believe it or not... Try this: (it's happened to me)
Take all the remotes (tv, cable, stereo etc.) out of the room and into a drawer or under a pillow. If it solves the problem... replace the batteries in the remotes. Problem solved!!! Sometimes when some remotes get low on battery juice, they send out random signals without you pressing any buttons. Hope it works.

Hello,
Unfortunatelly your receiver has failed. The front panel is telling you one of the power modules is probably bad. Not an DIY type of repair. These parts are near $40.00, plus cost of replacing.
Look at options to replace your trusted receiver with a new one.
Good luck

Check all speaker wiring for shorts. If nothing is found, unit obviously has circuit problems, have serviced.

Dear Tabasco,
Your receiver is basically going into protect mode.
Just check your speaker cabling again. Make sure that all of them are seated properly, none is touching each other or the body of receiver. Take out all the wire and put them back again if necessary..
Some times even a little tiny frayed wire touching the receiver could trigger the protect mode. Be careful, since protect mode is sometimes not fast enough and it could blown a few trasistors in the power circuit.
Just check your speaker as well....whether they play all right thru another receiver or amplifier. its posiible they might be shorting inside. A little frayed wire could also trigger the protect circuit in your receiver.
I hope this should solve your problem.
If everything else seems all right and still your receiver shut down when you raise the volume then it possible that there are bad connections on the main board that are set in.
This would generally happen if the system is slighly old or have dry solder and when you raise up the volume. This should be a simple repair that will not require parts. If you can solder, you will be able to repair this yourself. If not, then a local service center will change the local labor rate.
Hope you can sort out your problem with the above trouble shooting. Let me know if I can guide you further.
Best of luck! Thanks for using FixYa!

Aside from any intrinsic problem with your receiver, the usual suspects are;
1) Poor receiver ventilation.
2) Very high levels of bass.
3) Shorts in the speaker wiring.
4) A rubbing loudspeaker voice coil.

That is the status light - it blinks because the power source of the receiver is in protected mode: a part inside the receiver has failed, acts as a short and that has triggered the protection system of the source.
The only way to fix that is to open the receiver and test the components to identify the failed part. But this is a new model, it probably still is in the warranty period. If you would open it you would void the warranty so you must contact the seller, they will guide you to the closest authorised repair shop that will fix your receiver for free - or replace it if the damage is too great.
