marantz sr7008 goes to protect mode when turned on

Try disconnecting all speakers, turn it on & run it at 70% volume for 5-10 minutes. If it still goes into protection then you know it's a problem with the unit and not your speakers/wiring. If it runs fine then you know there's a problem with your speakers/wiring. If the unit goes into protection mode then perform a reset:With the unit off, press and hold "Game & A-DSX" and turn the unit on. The display will start blinking, after the 5th blink release the Game & A-DSX Buttons and the system will go through the reset procedure.

This might have been caused by some short circuit. It might need some service, BUT there's a simple solution too. Power off Marantz, pull out the mains chord from power. Wait for about 10 minutes. Then by some wire , short circuit the power chord's two ends. Get rid of the wire. Then plug the power chord into power as you normally do. Turn on Marantz. It won't go to protect mode again...

Once you verify connections are not touching each other, polarities are correct and also done reset to factory settings (see manual). If you still have issue. One more thing to check is what is the your speaker impedance? 4 ohms? 6 ohms? or 8 ohms? This receiver is not intended for 4 ohms speakers. Consider adding external amp. If you are using 6 ohm or 8 ohm speakers. Set speakers impedance by navigating the menu in speakers section. Last option is receiver may be defective need a replacement or need service. Contact marantz service. Based on user feed back, they do not fix anything unless they can replicate the issue. Which may or may not able to replicate it.

Yup, had the same exact problem. I thought it was the speaker to speaker cables, the Coax or Toslink cable and then my computers sound card but it wasn't. It drove me nuts. If it's still under warranty, send it back and have them fix it.

I do not actually have this receiver. but, now that that is out of the way, thought i still might be able to help. generally, the protection circuitry shuts the unit down when there is a problem with speaker wiring, like a short or miswire, that's what i would check first, another possibility is you have a damaged cable, like the hdmi is messed up internally, try swapping in a different cable after you check the speaker wires. hope this helps!

it don't . and don't let M-audio tell you different . Ive seen post about the issiue in there forum and they say simple thing like plug it in or make sure its turned on then they lock the topic or complaint saying the issuie has been fixed .. I have my sitting next to me collecting dust

As far as I can tell the amp is activated in the software. Only time it wont be amped is if you turn it off or use optical out.

Same thing happens to mine. However as soon as I turn on a connected device it lights back up and is connected so I think it's probably a power save mode.

because how each program accesses the Dongle it is either going to see tv signal or audio frequency. you can not do both at the same time

Thanks, that might have been the reason for I went from some mid range infinitys to 4 Martin Logan towers and the problem seems to have disappeared, I'll keep pushing the volume up after the recommended break-in period of the ML10'S.Looks as if the problem was in my old speakers, I was able to floor the receiver with the ML10s without triggering the protection circuit so now I'm going to sit back and enjoy warping across the various universes with Startrek and the Skywalker clan.

No cause I have 2 p3 12's and it goes into protection mode it's not enough power... That's my opinion

I have used several decades Marantz and had never a broken unit, I'm sure that Marantz Europe will help you with service if needed.Be aware that US equipment is build for 110Volt 60Hz, Europe has 230Volt 50HzBest Regards,Andries Bosma

Turn volume up after it connects and remember it only plays front speakers in Bluetooth mode

I have the same setup... mine go into protection mode immediately if the volume is above around the 25 setting. Thats about 65 decibels. Guess Im looking for a new receiver unless anyone has an idea.

Man, no idea. Did you get a power surge or something like that recently? I keep mine (and all electronics like this) on a suppressor protected circuit. Not much help for you now, though. You have my sympathies.

I dont turn mine off. Since ive had it its only been powered down once because the power went out and I did not loose found channels or have to reprogram. I would conntact manufacturer or google the make model and issue.

That is a power surge protection feature. Check for a kink in the speaker wire and make sure all bare wires are tight and not touching each other in the back.

Protected light comes on even when using that adapter. Don't know if it's still protected though using that adapter.
