    Thank you,
    I have it open. Any idea where I would find those fuses. I see one fuse, but I believe that is the fuse for the unit itself. Will they look like that fuse? Will they be next to each other?

    Thank you,

    I can hear both sides with the headphones. So that means that it is not the channel, but something to do with the connections to the right speaker out circuitry, Correct?

Of course there is - actually a blown channel is the most common failure in these types of amplifiers. and it's easy to test: just plug some headphones in it and see if you hear something - the headphones are connected directlyon the speaker outputs.
This exact model uses 3 separate circuits to amplify the sound : front Left + Right, surround Left + Right and Center + Subwoofer. If only the right channel is missing it means that IC for the front ones has failed and it will have to be replaced. But before replacing it check the wires and the right speaker for damage or shorts, and the internal connections to the speaker plots.
No. it's not a fuse, there's only one, for the single main power line that goes to each IC, and its good.

    Yes, something after the amplifier IC is broken so the sound signal never reaches the speaker - or the speaker itself is faulty: switch between them to check that.

Hello,

yes, there is such. There is a fuse on each channel. Get a screw driver, disassemble the unit, and check the fuse on the channel.

If the fuse is intact, then it means a capacitor or diode may have become defective. Use a meter to detect the bad component on the non working channel, the will reveal the problem.

If you have any more questions, please let me know.

Good luck.

Sa515-l no sound in protected mode now permanently is it worth fixing

Check the bottom of the receiver. there should be an access panel under the amp ic section. Look at the connections on the amp ic's and voltage regulators that are next to them. If you see any round rings or loose looking connections, it could just need to be resoldered. This is pretty common on these receivers.

There are 2 major possibilities and since you didn't say if the sound comes back here's the general split.
1. The power amp section could be having problems and/or protection circuits are kicking in. In this case repair of the amp will be needed.
2. There is a bad connection somewhere making the audio path go bad. In this case a good can of contact cleaner applied to all switches and controls may help. If not, the bad connection may be internal. If tapping (or rapping) on the unit makes it come back, there's probably a bad internal connection.
If letting the unit cool down brings back the sound, its the power amp section.

When I turn on unit, a message "overload" appears.

Check the speakers and the power supply for any signs of shorting.
This is due to the fact that the safety circuit works to switch off the set preventing a high damage.
So check the output for short or the presection .
