SOURCE: I have an Onkyo Amp

hmm there could be just a fault with this amp if it is brand new.. other wise you might have shorten some wires to geather by accident, try taking out all the audio leads accept the power and see what happends..

if the lite doesn't come on then turn the power off and plug one thing in at a time and turn the power on each time you plug something in..

hope it helps good luck

SOURCE: onkyo HT-R500 amplifier protection circuitry activated

u have a short.

remove all speakers cables and turn it on, if remains on and u can up the volume do the next.
1: turn it off.
2: connect only 1 speaker cable (each time to see if the short is in one speaker or cable)
3: turn it on, up the volume.
this way u must be able to see what cable or speaker have the problem.

if still the same prob the short is inside.
i put a answer of a prob where cant up of 41 check the cleaning method.

Good luck

SOURCE: Power will not stay on

Activated protection circuitry means that the amplifier is seeing conditions it does not like and is shutting down the power to prevent further damage.
Either you have a short in your speaker wires, in your speakers, or a blown amplifier.
Disconnect both speakers and turn on the amplifier. Does it still give the error message? If it does, your amp is blown. If it does not, carefully inspect your speaker wires and their connection. Make sure all looks good and reconnect the speakers and try it again. Still get the error message? You likely have a problem in your speaker cabinet(s).

My Onkyo TX-SV636 keeps going back to protect mode each time the power is turned on how can I fix this myself

Often amplifiers will display "Protect" if bare speaker wires are touching each other, the back of the amplifier or part of the speaker housing. Check all of the wiring, including any pins/jacks that could have a loose wire. If all of the wiring is good, then the short is internal to the amplifier. See page 44 of the manual available at ManualsLib: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/302316/Onkyo-Tx-Sv636.html?page=44#manual .

I hope this helps.

I've got an Onkyo M-282 with one channel that just died. Upon visual exam, there seems to be absolutely nothing wrong with it (the caps are all flat, not puffing, no broken components or smells...).

Likely you blew your outputs Transistors or mos fets, you cannot be sure without ohm meter. usually when one side goes out the protection kick in on both chanels

A-SV640 KEEP GOING TO PROTECT MODE

Hi, try powering up the unit with out any speaker connected if it still goes to PROTECT try factory reset if possible.
To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down VCR/DVR, press ON/STANDBY. "Clear" will appear on the display and the AV receiver will enter standby mode.
If this does not fix your problem you should take your unit to service . :)

Hello! onkyo SV717 pro amp that goes into protect mode. Any suggestions how to reset system?

Hi...
If you try JUST headphones (spkrs off), does it still go into protect?
If so, I would say ( from my previous 50 or so receivers) that it needs new power supply capacitors
If not, either one of your spkrs is faulty or they arent connected solidly at both ends
