While playing my unit we had a brief power outage. When the power supply returned the " PROTECT PUSH POWER " message comes on. Is there a button that I can push to reset my unit-LBT-X50 .

Their is a 3.7v button battery inside,it will cause the display to fail when it is dead,it was discharged after your power went out.Replace the battery and it will work again,I have done this.

Hi there,

When the word PROTECT appears on this display, this means the unit has detected a critical fault which could potentially cause harm to your stereo system.

The most common cause is a short circuit somewhere - something even as simple as loose speaker wiring could cause a short, triggering the Protect message.

You will need to determine if there is a possible short somewhere, so I recommend you start by firstly turning power OFF, disconnecting all speaker wires, then turn unit back ON.

Operate the stereo (without speakers) and turn volume up:

• If Protect message appears when turning volume up, then stereo unit itself has an internal fault
• If no Protect message appears, then suspect the speakers may be causing the issue.
• Reduce volume and turn unit OFF

Re-connect speakers (ensure the connections are secure), turn unit ON:

• If turning volume up triggers the Protect message again, there is an issue with the speakers or connections

Hope this helps.....

A power outage. If no power outage you may of had a power surge and with this model it will kick itself to the off position to help protect the unit from anymore damage.

Check the fuse inside the unit around the power supply area.

In all probability that Power Outage caused a massive Spike or Surge on your power line. This has affected this unit. It doesn't take much to cause this type of thing and is quite common. It may be repairable, however these days buying a new one is often a better option. If you do go the repair route, go to a reputable place, & please ensure you get a firm "Quote" not an "Estimate" for repair.

Protet mode is a special diagnostic mode that starts when a fault is detected.

When in protection mode the unit is prevented from starting by protection circuit, so to prevent further damage.

Check the speakers and speakers wiring, a contact in speaker wires, or faulty speakers can send the unit in protection.

Try unplugging power cable for one hour or so. then connect cable back and see if you get rid of protect state. Sometimes accumulation of electrostatic charges inside circuit capacitors can kick in protect mode. In that case unplugging the unit from main for some times can get rid of electrostatic charges, and reset circuits by draining power completely.
If that was the problem, you will not get Protect when plugging back power cable.

If you do all the above and still get Protect, then there is a real fault.

In that case the unit may be disassembled and tested to find the fault.

If that is the case I suggest contacting the manufacturer at the number listed on the owners manual, or asking a quote on repair to a local technician.

Amplifier output chip in stereo is defective and unit gives error message of push power protect.
You need to replace output amplifier IC and check supplied voltages.

ROFL OW NED!!!!!

Check that you bought an appliance with same power specification required for your country.
For example if you are in UK it is 240Volts etc.
