The "PROTECT" and "PUSH POWER" messages will flash alternately when the protective device of the amplifier has been activated because a strong signal was input, or if there is a short-circuit detected. Press the POWER button on the unit to turn off the system, and check the following items after "STANDBY" disappears.
1) Are the + and - speaker cords short-circuited? 2) Are you using only the specified speakers?. 3) Is anything blocking the ventilation holes of the system?
