Either your speakers are mismatched to the unit or they are wired incorrectly.
Speakers connected to each of the output channels of this unit should be between 4 and 8 ohm and more than 50Watt
To get the unit working again disconnect the speakers and make sure there are no short circuits present at the connections. Verify that the speaker to be connected is more than 4 ohm impedance. This is printed on the rear of the speaker. If it is less than 4 ohm it cannot be used unless together with another speaker connected in series.
Lets assume you have 2 ohm speakers. One wire of one of the channels gets connected to the + of the speaker. The other wire of the same channel gets connected to the - of the other speaker. The connectors on the 2 speakers that have not been connected till now gets connected together. In this way you get 2ohm+2ohm=4ohm which is safe for the unit.
Now of course you'll need another 2 speakers for the other side!
Leave a message if you need further assistance and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Protect means the speakers are drawing too much current. Recheck your installation to make sure the wires are not shorting to each other or to the chassis. If the wires look good, check the impedance of the speakers using an ohmmeter. Anything less than 4 ohms is probably a bad speaker, but compare your readings to the spec on the box. Please let me know if you have more questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

I have a 1989 oldmosbil cutlass ciera and i upgraded to a new pioneer radio and it keeps saying amp error after a few moments of playing . What do i do

This is referring to the internal amp. Make sure none of the speaker wires are touching each other or metal. if the only speakers hooked up are the 6x9's then one or both of them probably has a bad voicecoil and is shorting out causing the radio to protect itself. Replace the 6x9's and you should be okay.

I have had a Denon AVR 588 for some time now. Lately, when I play a movie in the DVD player or play a CD, it sometimes powers off into protection mode. I have a fan on it for ventilation and the unit is...

What I think is happening is that you have a fault in the main amp somewhere which after a while gets hot and creates an overload situation. It's going to be a tricky thing to spot unless you have a good knowledge of electronics. For example Capacitors can cause such faults. Sometimes you can spot them with the eye. For example the top of them might be bulging out. But unless you know, take it to a trained technician.

The screen says protect and it wont come off the screen or play radio or cds what do i do?

This radio is equipped with an anti-theft device, if the battery power is disconnected from the radio for more than a few minutes, it goes into lockdown or "protect" mode. The only way to get the code is to call the manufacturer with the product number and serial number, generally they will verify your identity and then provide you with the unlock code.

IVA-D310 PLAYS DVD'S BUT NOT CD'S!

As last resort you might try a firmware upgrade if available. Otherwise the unit needs to be replaced since laser mechanism has lost the ability to focus on and play back cd's. Repair not cost effective so ..............

I have burned a .wma video file on a cd-r, on my computer it runs perfectly... only when i put it in my dvd player it say's stop and won't play. Can someone help me out ? Thanks Jeff

Several causes for non-playback:
1. Your CD player doesn't like CD-R
2. Your CD player doesn't recognize wma
3. The music you converted to wma is copy protected and the CD player wont play due to that.

Solutions:
1. Most likely this isn't the problem as most working CD/DVD players recognize CD-R. Double check with your user manual.
2. Check your DVD player's playback formats. Most will play mp3 and wav. If that's the case, rip your music to mp3.
3. There are many hacks out there to remove copy protection. This you'll have to figure out on your own :)

Problem with SAMSUNG HT-X20!!

The fan is going bad and when u play dvd's the spining of the cd is acting as a fan witch is why they play longer then any other mode i had the same problem 2 times the second time samsung wanted 160$!!! thats bull because it keeps going out so what u do is open the case and remove the cover over all the capaciters and whatnot and replace that fan in the back then cut a hole in the top of the metal case directly about the cap's that warm up and install a aditional fan to act as a chimney a little noisy but i did this and the player had been runing in aux and radio mode for a few days stright now no problems at all it's alot of work and skill but for 2 5-15 dolar fans sure beats the 160 for repair or buying a new recever!
